just because i m okay

Gabrielle Aplin

So there s this thing
I don t know what it is, but I can t put it down
See, there s this thing
Wish I could show it to you, but I don t know how
So I keep carrying it round

I m wide awake, wide awake
I can t explain, can t escape
If the issues on my mind
is the issue only mine?
Don t complain, push it down
But who are you to explain?
How I look like I m doing just fine

Just because I m okay doesn t mean it s okay
Inside I m like a hurricane, but you d never tell
Even though I m coping
Couldn t feel last thing control
And just because I carry it well don t mean it isn t heavy

Sometimes I feel like I should live with it
Make you believe I m tough, but now I ve woken up
Each further hits me like a tonne of bricks from you
But now I ve had enough
You try picking it up

I m wide awake, wide awake
I can t explain, can t escape
If the issues on my mind
Is the issue only mine?
Don t complain, push it down
But who are you to explain?
How I look like I m doing just fine

Just because I m okay doesn t mean it s okay
Inside I m like a hurricane, but you d never tell
Even though I m coping
Couldn t feel last thing control
Yeah, just because I carry it well don t mean it isn t heavy

Mean it isn t heavy, no
Don t mean it isn t heavy, oh, no, no
Hmm-mmh, mmh-mmh

Just because I m okay doesn t mean it s okay
Inside I m like a hurricane, but you d never tell
Even though I m coping
Couldn t feel last thing control
Just because I carry it well don t mean it isn t heavy
