They told me that when I was younger
Lying leaves you blind and don't leave anyone behind
And all those things that make you stronger
Will have you lying on the floor think you can't take it anymore
It's alright not to feel okay (x2)
They told me that when I get older
That there'll be less time to prepare and room for someone to compare
And now the ache is getting colder
And I can see it in your face
No wish to settle in this place
It's alright not to feel okay (x2)
And I promise I'm here when you need me
Some people tell you that you just need to get up and grow up
Forget it forgive what you're hearing
Some people just don't understand what it feels like to fall
So don't fall (x4)
They told me that when I was younger
Lying leaves you blind and don't leave anyone behind
And don't lose sight of what's to live for
Because there's truth in what they say
It's alright not to feel okay
It's alright not to feel okay (x6)
