Paramore Tell Me It's Okay (Demo) lyrics

Maybe it's been years since I genuinely smiled,
And maybe it's been years since I've wanted to be a part of anything.
And lately I've been good; you know I've actually been great.
Man, I even laughed a little today,
Oh, so strange, it's 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 x4

Thought it was my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years being in a misery factory.
Something had to give I had to finally see light,
I think at 23 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 x4

All my wasted heart
I let go when I shoulda held tighter.
And now when the sun is out.
I let it burn another flame to feel it shine on me.
Tell me it's okay x6

[Chorus]
My life is finally leveling out so
[Chorus]
My life is finally leveling out so
[Chorus]
Tell me it's okay x6
