I'm Not Okay But I Know I'm Going To Be

Raleigh Ritchie


I'm not okay, but I know I'm gunna be
You don’t need to ask me why, I just know I’ll be alright
I’ve got a life, laid out in front of me
That I can’t take away, it’s just the rain
There’ll be brighter days

I'm not okay, but I know I'm gunna be
I may have lost my way again
But I’ll get there in the end
I’ve been through the lowest lows
The highest highs, the sweet hellos and the sad goodbyes
I’ll let it out, if I need to cry
Coz I’ll make it out, the other side

I just know, I just know
I just know, know know know know

I'm not okay, but I know I'm gunna be
Coz I'm a person, not an island
So I search for the horizon
I can see it, right in front of me
But I need to start at the beginning
Fight with the tide and keep swimming

I'm winning when I see life’s an ocean, through the motions
Hard to ride the waves
I see in black and white, I guess I was colourblind

Fuck hangovers, I’ll try yoga
Let my body break
It’s a sacrifice, but I know there’s paradise, on the other side

I just know, I just know
I just know, no no no

I lost my way again
I’ll get there in the end

I have good days and bad days
Can’t days and can days
Boy days and man days, these days and them days
Butch days and femme days, mondays and wednesdays
Junk days and health days, I hate myself days
More days and less days, head, back and neck pain
Stones in my chest days
No one said it would be easy
But I need to try

In the daylight tears dry
Even when it hurts, inside
I’ll just take one day at a time

I'm not okay, but I know I'm gunna be, ooh
