Hold my heart and pull me closer
I'm farther off the ground than the Mars rover

I can't breath I won't last
Looking back on what has passed

I lie awake and cry to sleep
Listening to love songs all damn week

Killing time
Just passing by

Not living but for the minute
Not breathing but for a moment

Wishing what I had would be

What I have
And broken glass
Seeing light flicker past
Shadows chase my cares away
I just wanted to say

I could fly a million days
I could die a million ways
Just to try to find the words to say

Am I OK

All I am is shattered glass
Lightning strikes
Light filters through
I miss you

I'm not OK

I miss the way I felt before

Knowing I had everything and more
Before I gave myself away
Before I started a new day
I miss not worrying
I am just OK

Am I OK?
