I'm not okay, but it's okay

I'm not okay,
but it's okay
I'm smiling and laughing but It's all a game
I'm not okay
I'll put on a mask
So everyone else can relax
But I'm not okay
I never was. I never will be
But it's okay
Don't worry, don't ask me what's wrong
The answer will always be nothing
Truth is I'm hurting
Everyone says everyone loves me
Yet I can't learn I love myself
I'm friends to everyone so how come I have no friends of my own?
I spend time
I try
Keep everyone happy
My life's a lie
They say I'm cheerful
They're all blind
Truth is I'm not fine
I'm truly lonely
I'm not okay,
But i guess it's okay
There will be a day
It will all fade
Just waiting for the day i'll go away.
