lyrics

Where did you go
What didn’t I know
Were you hiding behind a cloak?
Was it a dream or a joke?
Like a mirror I broke

What did you think?
Am I just a drink
You can tumble round the town?
You’re bringing me down
Hey I’m nobody’s clown

It’s ok
Not to be ok

The truth set me free
It feels good to see
Of the numbers you could’ve dialed
Well I’m out in the wild
Sometimes I feel like a child

Did the bloom leave the rose
When you took off your clothes?
I felt the distance when you slept
Heard your feet as you crept
Oh I secretly wept

It’s ok
Not to be ok

I walked the rainbow
Down to the gold
When I got to the end
It’d been sold
Well you put me on hold
Baby you’re so cold

It’s ok
Not to be ok
