they know that I’m melancholy
but don’t wanna ask me why
just prayin’ somebody holds me
I’m lost and helpless till I’m sober
I have to feel alright
I have to make it right
I have to figure out every bruise
though you’re not here with me
as I’m walkin’ out the door
leave my shadows on the floor
and I’m practicin’
how to talk sweet and nice
and I’,m always laugh like
I had to prove that I’m okay
I’m okay with me
’cause I fake a smile
when I know I can’t
make things right
step aside when I know
I can’t face the fight
if I need to face it, all I do is get away
all I need to say is
“I ain’t got nothin’ to say”
all that I know is
I have to open doors
but I’m afraid
are you okay with me?
they know that I’m melancholy
but don’t wanna ask me why
just prayin’ somebody holds me
I’m lost and helpless till I’m sober
I have to feel alright
I have to make it right
I have to figure out every bruise
though you’re not here with me
I got some preachers all around me
caught in the middle, hear ’em knockin’
what if I start a fight?
what if I have nobody to be there for me?
I care, I hope you don’t walk away
I’m scared you don’t understand
whether I still love you or not
wish we were dancin’ like we did before
drink till dawn, sing through the night
tell me what we’re waitin’ for
don’t you have to stay up all night
stay for a while
would you check, before you go
if I’m okay
I’m not okay, maybe
they know that I’m melancholy
but don’t wanna ask me why
just prayin’ somebody holds me
I’m lost and helpless till I’m sober
I have to feel alright
I have to make it right
I have to figure out every bruise
though you’re not here with me
