i’ve never been alright, but it’s okay

[INTRO | soft room tone, muted guitar hum] Yeah… I don’t think I ever figured it out [VERSE 1 | conversational, flowing naturally] Wake up late again Sunlight through the blinds Phone full of messages I swear I’ll answer sometime Coffee on the nightstand Cold from yesterday Same hoodie, same headphones Tryin’ to disappear all day I go drivin’ when it gets bad Windows down, don’t know where at Just need movement in my life Even if I’m not alright [CHORUS | stronger rhythm, emotionally direct] I’ve never been alright But it’s okay I got used to feelin’ this way Some nights I can’t shut off my head Some days I don’t leave my bed But I’m still here anyway I’ve never been alright Maybe that won’t change But it’s okay [VERSE 2 | more personal detail] I still leave the TV on Just to fill the room with noise Silence got too heavy lately Makes it hard to hear my thoughts Friends ask where I disappear to Truth is I don’t really know Feels like everybody else moved on While I’m still movin’ slow And I hate when people say “Everything gets better, wait” Maybe they’re right I just ain’t seen it yet [CHORUS | fuller, more emotional] I’ve never been alright But it’s okay I got used to feelin’ this way Some nights I can’t shut off my head Some days I don’t leave my bed But I’m still here anyway I’ve never been alright Maybe that won’t change But it’s okay [BRIDGE | vulnerable, close-mic] I spent years thinkin’ something was wrong with me… Maybe I’m just tired [FINAL SECTION | hypnotic repetition] Still wake up Still breathe in Still drivin’ through the night again Still hurt sometimes Still feel strange But I’m still here the same [OUTRO | fading softly] …that’s gotta count for somethin’
