Tell Me It's Okay
Maybe it's been years since I genuinely smiledMaybe it's been years since I wanted to be a part of anythingBut lately I've been good, you know, I've actually been greatMan, I even laughed a little today
Oh so strange, so strange
Tell me it's okay to be happy nowBecause I'm happy nowTell me it's okay to be happy nowBecause I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okayTell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
I thought it was my right to be as sorry as I wanted to beI wasted all my teenage years being a misery factoryBut something had to give, I had to finally see lightI think at 23 it's time to practice what I preach
And what I preach is…
Tell me it's okay to be happy nowBecause I'm happy nowTell me it's okay to be happy nowBecause I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okayTell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
All my wasted hopeI let go when I should've held tighterAnd now when the sun is outI let it burn, not afraid to feel it shine on me
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okayTell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
Tell me it's okay to be happy nowBecause I'm happy nowTell me it's okay to be happy nowMy life is finally leveling out, so...
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okayTell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
