Okay
Macy Gray Lyrics

I thought I'd die when you left
When you left, I felt like my world was over and I couldn't go on living.

But I'm still taking a breath
Despite feeling like I couldn't go on living, I am still alive and breathing.

I'm okay
Although I've been through a lot of emotional pain, I am doing alright now.

Now I'm still here now you're gone and I'll keep singing my song
Even though you've left, I am still alive and continuing to pursue my passion in music.

I'm okay
I may have been hurt, but I am doing alright now.

We been fighting, cussing screaming
We've been in a toxic relationship filled with arguments and verbal abuse.

Tell me love oh what's the reason?
I am trying to understand the reason for our constant fights and conflicts.

I thought we loved each other so
I believed that we were in love and had a strong relationship.

Been throwing pots and pans not holding hands oh lover tis the season
Instead of showing affection and holding hands, we've been throwing objects at each other during arguments.

That I've got to let you go
I've come to the realization that I need to end this relationship as it is not healthy for me.

Shoulda known from the start that you'd tear up my heart, I'll never...
I should have known from the beginning that you would break my heart and leave me in pain. I will never forget how much you hurt me.

[Chorus]
Repeating the main message of the song, that despite the pain of a failed relationship, the singer is doing okay.

You're bad at cheating
You are not even good at hiding your infidelity.

Thought you were different from them all
I believed that you were different from other unfaithful partners I had before.

Now you gotta look your daughter in the eyes and tell her that her daddy's leaving
You must face the fact that your actions will harm your child, and explain to her why you are leaving.

You're so stereotypical
You fit the typical pattern of a man who cheats and betrays his partner.

Shoulda known from the start that you'd tear up my heart, I'll never...
The singer reiterates that she should have known better than to trust a man who would cause her so much pain.

Get up girl and dry your tears it's messed up how he makes you feel
The singer encourages another woman who is going through a similar situation, telling her she needs to be strong and that her partner is mistreating her.

I know you don't wanna be lonely
I understand that being alone is scary and it can be difficult to imagine being happy without a partner.

And what you gonna do for money
I understand that having financial security is an important factor in staying in a relationship.

But he's lying, cheating on you when you're trying to raise a family
The singer points out that the partner is being unfaithful while the other person is working hard to raise a family together.

Forget that
The singer urges the person to forget about the cheating partner and move on with their life without them.

Fuck that
The singer expresses her strong negative feelings towards the cheating partner and tells the person to stop putting up with their bad treatment.

You can make it without him...
The singer believes that the other person can be happy and successful without their cheating partner and encourages them to leave.
