Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
Yeah, I’m wearin’ a mask, but it’s crackin’ at the seams,
Smile painted on, but I’m drownin’ in my dreams.
Got a heart full of hurt that nobody sees,
Tryna say I’m not okay, but it feels like disease.
Woke up this mornin’, sun peeked through the blinds,
But shadows in my chest got me fightin’ with my mind.
I put on this facade like it’s armor for the day,
But inside I’m feelin' lost in this silent ballet.
Friends ask how I’m doin’, say I'm good with a grin,
But they don’t know the battles ragin’ deep within.
Every laugh’s a mask that I carefully designed,
While every tear's a secret that I'm tryin' to unwind.
I’m not okay (no), can’t you see through my disguise?
Behind this painted smile lies a storm of goodbyes.
Hidin’ from the world like a ghost on display—
Just want someone to hear when I whisper "I'm not okay."
Mirror shows reflection of who they think I am,
But deep down inside it's more than just a scam.
Every step feels heavy like I'm walkin' on glass,
Wanna break free from these chains but afraid of what’ll pass.
Scrolling through my timeline while I'm feelin' so alone,
Caught between reality and these pixels on my phone.
Catch me at the party laughin’, livin’ for the crowd—
Inside it's chaos; man, it’s silent and loud.
I’m not okay (no), can’t you see through my disguise?
Behind this painted smile lies a storm of goodbyes.
Hidin’ from the world like a ghost on display—
Just want someone to hear when I whisper "I'm not okay."
So here’s my confession laid bare under moonlight,
The struggles feel heavier than they seem in daylight.
Maybe one day I'll shed this skin and be real—
Find comfort in the truth and learn how to heal.
If you’re feelin' broken too, let your heart beat raw—
Together we can find strength behind every flaw.
I’m not okay (no), yeah it's hard to admit;
With every word that escapes there's freedom in the split.
Let’s tear down these walls ‘cause together we stay—
It starts with one voice sayin', “Hey… I'm not okay.”
(Repeat)
I’m not okay… No...
(Yeah) But together we’ll find our way...
