Not ok

inspired by 'Not ok' by MCR

One little smile
No matter how hard to produce
Can hide away a thousand tears
And fool every one of you

Everyone seems so happy
Now that it's all said and done
No one even sees the heartache I suffered
From losing the man I loved

You'll find someone better
Is what they all tell me
But what chance does any guy have
Of being worth my time

I said I wanted him to be it for me
And I meant every last word
I will never fall down and give myself
To another man on this earth

Has anyone stopped to ask
If I'm really doing ok
Or do they simply fall victim
To the fake smile on my face

There is a pain in my heart
You can see it in my eyes
If you look close enough you will see
That this smile is just lies

Because I'm far from ok
It will take quite some time
Maybe a year, maybe ten
Or maybe it will last till I die...
