Tell Me It's Okay
Maybe it’s been years since I genuinely smiled
Maybe it’s been years since I wanted to be a part of anything
But lately, I’ve been good — you know, I’ve actually been great
Man, I even laughed a little today
Oh, so strange, so strange
Tell me it’s okay to be happy now
Because I’m happy now
Tell me it’s okay to be happy now
Because I’m happy now
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
I thought it was my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory
But something had to give, I had to finally see light
I think at 23, it’s time to practice what I preach
And what I preach is…
Tell me it’s okay to be happy now
Because I’m happy now
Tell me it’s okay to be happy now
Because I’m happy now
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
All my wasted hope
I let go when I should’ve held tighter
And now when the sun is out
I let it burn, not afraid to feel it shine on me
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
Tell me it’s okay to be happy now
Because I’m happy now
Tell me it’s okay to be happy now
My life is finally leveling out, so…
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
Tell me it’s okay, tell me it’s okay
