tell me I'm okay


tell me I'm okay
even if you have to lie
because the fact is I
will believe every word you say
tell me I'm all right
even though it isn't true
I need to hear it from you
please don't be quiet

          I don't believe 
          anything
          that I tell myself
          I'm so disturbed
          I need the words
          to come from someone else

tell me I am good
even though you're wrong
I need to feel I belong
like I'm in your neighborhood
tell me I exist
even if you don't want me
my words come around to haunt me
my hands turn into fists

          I don't believe 
          anything
          that I tell myself
          I'm so disturbed
          I need the words
          to come from someone else

tell me I'll survive
even if you think I can't
that is just my circumstance
that's how I live my life
I need to know today
I'm desperate and I'm sad
I've never hurt this bad
don't let me waste away
tell me I'm okay
