Be Okay

lyrics

A E D

I’m dropping out of school to find a job
And once I’ve saved enough, you know I’ll quit my job
I’m so tired I can hardly breathe
I’m counting down the days til I can leave

Out of here, out of here, out of here

I used to blame my parents for the ways in which I exist
But it’s not their fault how the world treats children who are mixed
And I swear people would listen to my songs
If I were a white boy acknowledging that I’m wrong
But I’m not
But I’m not
But I’m not

E F#m

I pray to god I’ll stop being such a fuck up
And I won’t have to smother my screams
I pray to god I’ll believe in something bigger
So I’ll stop dying in my dreams

And I’m waiting for the day that I’m declared insane
It’s every day that I’m in pain
It’s almost every day that I don’t want to stay
Well, I just want to hear that it’ll be okay

We’ll be okay, we’ll be okay, we’ll be okay
