lyrics

There's light in my window
But it's too much to get up
Worse I know that if I lay long enough
I'll be gone
I will fade

It's heavy in my head
But it's too much to complain
Worse I know that if I lie long enough
I will fade
I will fade

Why aren't I OK?
Don't want to bring you down
But I'm not OK
Not alright right now
Why aren't I OK?
