I know you're hurtin', tryin' so hard to run away
Or push it down below
But it gets worse when you never look it in the face
And that's why you should know

It's okay not to be okay
You don't have to hide from what you feel
It's alright not to be alright
When the pain's becoming all too real
You can scream it, shout it, cry it out
It's how we start to heal
Things will get better
But if it's not today, it's okay

You wanna heal the hurt, you gotta feel the hurt
You wanna heal the hurt, you gotta feel it first
You wanna heal the hurt, you gotta feel the hurt

It's okay not to be okay (I am not okay)
You don't have to hide from what you feel
It's alright not to be alright (I am not okay)
When the pain's becoming all too real
You can scream it, shout it, cry it out (oh)
It's how we start to heal
Things will get better
But if it's not today, it's okay
