The ink is bleeding, the pages burn
Lessons ignored with each one I turn
I keep pretending 'cause it's easier than bein' me
I'm not okay, not okay, n-n-n-not okay

I'm feeling captive to my past mistakes
Try moving on but I feel stuck in the same place
I keep pretending 'cause the truth is way too much to take
I'm not okay, not okay, n-n-n-not okay

I swear to God I'll be just fine
Telling myself the same old lie
When I'm in doubt, can't see what lies
On the other side, the other side

Making excuses for the issues I created
A prisoner of anger and hatred
I pull the trigger, but I missed the mark
I lost the spark, lost the spark, l-l-l-lost the spark

Got chiseled scars from all the lies I'm engravin'
I'm sick and tired of the way I'm behavin'
I keep pretending 'cause it's better than explaining
I'm not okay, not okay, n-n-n-not okay

I swear to God I'll be just fine
Telling myself the same old lie
When I'm in doubt, can't see what lies
On the other side, the other side
I say goodbye, I close the door
Can't take the pressure anymore
Is there something worth fighting for
On the other side? The other side

They always told me that the grass was greener
So I'm leaving everything behind
I refuse to be a bottom feeder
There's no more wasting time
Wearing a disguise

Leave it all behind, leave it all behind
Leave it all behind, I'll reach the other side
Leave it all behind, leave it all behind
Leave it all behind, I'll reach the other side

I swear to God I'll be just fine
Telling myself the same old lie
When I'm in doubt, can't see what lies
On the other side, the other side
I say goodbye, I close the door
Can't take the pressure anymore
Is there something worth fighting for
On the other side? The other side
