Im Not Ok by Charlotte Black Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am gold, but I'm late
Did I miss the glitter party?
I've not quite found my place
So go and throw a pity party

Oh, I-I-I haven't been myself
'Cause I-I-I've been faking it as somebody else
Think it's time to crash the party
Why does everybody

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep askin' me
Who I'm gonna be, when it's gonna happen
'Cause you're 23, crying in the bathroom
All they think of me, lost in the distraction
No one will hear you in this crowd
So go ahead and figure yourself out

[Chorus]
Would it be okay to not be okay?
Is it enough to be on my way?
Leave on the light, and just say it straight
That I'm not okay, no, I'm not okay
Would it be alright to be second place?
Would I let you down if I lost the race?
No, I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
But I will be someday

[Verse 2]
I got gold, but not that kind
I'm stocking up on glitter money
I don't need stacks 'cause I got time
I don't care if anybody

[Pre-Chorus]
Keeps asking me
Who I'm gonna be, when it's gonna happen
'Cause you're 23, crying in the bathroom
All they think of me, lost in the distraction
No one will hear you in this crowd
So go ahead and figure yourself out

[Chorus]
Would it be okay to not be okay?
Is it enough to be on my way?
Leave on the light, and just say it straight
That I'm not okay, no, I'm not okay

Would it be alright to be second place?
Would I let you down if I lost the race?
No, I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
But I will be someday
