Maybe it's been years
Since I genuinely smiled
And maybe it's been years
Since I wanted to be a part of anythingWell, lately I've been good
You know, I've actually been great
Man, I even laughed a little today
Oh, so strange, so strangeTell 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 nowTell me it's okay, tell me it's okay (ay)
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay (ay)I thought it was my right
To be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years
Being a misery factoryBut something had to give
I had to finally see light
I think at 23
It's time to practice what I preachAnd 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 nowTell 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 meTell 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)
