What are the lyrics to 'I'm Not Okay' by My Chemical Romance?

Answer 1

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.

I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,

Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

You wear me out

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?

(I'm not okay)

I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means

(I'm not okay)

To be a joke and look, another line without a hook

I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

You wear me out

Forget about the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed

I'm okay

I'm okay!

I'm okay, now

(I'm okay, now)

But you really need to listen to me

Because I'm telling you the truth

I mean this, I'm okay!

(Trust Me)

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

Well, I'm not okay

I'm not o-f***ing-kay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

(Okay)

Ray: "You like dnd, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini and croquet. You can't swim, you can't dance and you don't know karate. Face it. You're never gonna make it." Gerard: "I don't wanna make it. I. Just. want...."

Answer 3

The starting is-

Ray-

You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini and Croquet. You can't swim, you can't dance and you don't know karate. Face it, you're never gonna make it.

Ray-

I don't wanna make it, I just wanna-

And then the song's the same as it normally is but instead of 'o-f*cking-kay', Gerard sings 'really not okay'.

Answer 4

Answer 5

It's about…well…not being okay. It's about being the different kid and embracing it. It's also saying it's okay to be a little messed up. If you etch the music video its easy to understand :)
