Can't Say Okay
The day when you just can’t find the words to say 
 “I’m okay.” 
 
 The tears that stream down your face 
 But you won’t let them see your pain. 
 
 So you run away 
 Hiding from the words they might say 
 Hiding from the truth you just can’t take 
 So you just run, away. 
 
 It wasn’t your choice to live this way 
 Acting as if you’re in a play. 
 
 The tears that stream down your face 
 But you won’t let them see your pain. 
 
 So you run away 
 Hiding from the words they might say 
 Hiding from the truth you just can’t take 
 So you just run, away. 
 
 Everyone who can looks the other way 
 Counting the moments they must stay 
 
 The tears that stream down your face 
 But you won’t let them see your pain. 
 
 So you run away 
 Hiding from the words they might say 
 Hiding from the truth you just can’t take 
 So you just run, away. 
 
 And again the day comes when you can’t say 
 “I’m okay.”
