I'm Not
After G.R.E.V. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Four in the morning, I can't sleep
In and out the shitty
I'm worried 'bout where you may be
Feels like I've been here, stressing the things that I can't see
Where do you go? What do you do?
Without we, without me
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
Losing my faith, I'm losing my faith
Slipping away, you're slipping away
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
Feel a little guilty, uh
I feel like it's written all over me
Tried to find a balance, trusting you, trusting me
Feel a little heavy
Holdin' onto something that I don't need
I've been going through it, yeah
I've been going through it
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
Losing my faith, I'm losing my faith
Slipping away, you're slipping away
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay
All I want (all I want)
Take me home
Hold me close (yeah)
Please don't let me go
I don't know, I don't know
Can you call from wherever you are?
Swear I feel you
Hold me tight, hold me tight
Makes me cry
See, I'm so far, here we are, here we are
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Losing my faith, I'm losing my faith
Slipping away, you're slipping away
I'm not okay, no I'm not okay
I'm not okay
