lyrics

i’m not giving up
i’m not giving in
but i’m not gonna get up
i’m gonna stay in

i wont win the morning
i wont win the day
i wont even try to
and i wont feel ashamed

i won't go to school
i won't go to work
i won't be productive at all
and it won't hurt

i’ll get through the day
just do the least
drink plenty of water
remember to eat

this is enough
i don’t need more
you shouldn’t either
life isn’t a sport

i might write a song
i might write two
i might write nothing
i don’t do it for you

you could call it selfish
i wouldn’t disagree
but first things first
i gotta look after me

but i feel fine
i feel kinda great
it’s quite liberating
to have nothing on my plate

you don’t need to worry
i don’t need help
i’ve embraced the condition
i’ve drank from the cup

i used to fight it
work hard and take meds
but i’m not gonna deny it
this is who i am

this isn’t improvement
this is acceptance
i know what my life is gonna be
and i won’t end it

i feel at ease
at home with my pain
it’s nothing dramatic
i’m really okay

i'm really okay
i'm really okay
i'm really okay
i'm really okay
