Maybe it's been years
Since I genuinely smiled
And maybe it's been years
Since I wanted to be a part of anything
But lately I've been good
You know, I've actually been great
Man, I even laughed a little today
Oh, so strange, so strange
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
Because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
Because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Thought it was my right
To be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years
Being a misery factory
But something had to gi-ive
I had to finally see a light
I think at twenty three
It's time to practice what I preach
And what I preach is...
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
Because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
Because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
All my wasted hope
I let go when I should've held tighter and
Now when the sun is out
I let it burn, not afraid to feel it shine on me
It's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
Because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
My life is finally leveling out, so...
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
Because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
My life is finally leveling out, so...
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay-ay
