Im not okay
by Dawn
Lyrics
[Intro - rain-soaked pads, distant kick, whispered vocal chops]
I still hear your name in the static
Like a ghost in my room
Every shadow keeps your shape
And it’s breaking me in two
[Verse 1 - lo-fi beat, muted synths, fragile female vocals]
I shut the door, but you linger in the light
Your hoodie on my chair, your voice in my mind at night
I try to breathe, but the air tastes like goodbye
And every little memory cuts deeper as I try
You said forever, then you vanished in the cold
Now I’m holding pieces a story left untold
I scroll through our pictures like they might bring you back
But all I get is heartbreak on a cracked-up track
[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, filtered bass, layered harmonies]
I keep reaching for a hand that’s not there
Calling out to silence, falling through the air
If love was a fire, then why does it burn?
I’m standing in the ashes, waiting for your turn
[Chorus - emotional lift, sidechained bass, shimmering synth lead, soaring vocals]
Come back, come back, I’m not okay without you
I’m drowning in the dark, I don’t know what to do
If you can hear me through the midnight blue
I’m still in love, still stuck on you
Come back, come back, I can’t let go of this pain
Every beat in my chest still calls out your name
I’d give anything to feel your heartbeat too
I’m still in love, still stuck on you
[Verse 2 - deeper sub bass, glitchy percussion, tearful layered vocals]
The city’s glowing, but it feels so cold
Every crowded room just makes me feel alone
I laugh with strangers, then I break when I get home
’Cause all the empty space just tells me you are gone
I replay the last words like a broken lullaby
Wonder if you meant them, wonder if you lied
I hate how much I miss the way you held me close
Now I’m just a memory that you let go
[Bridge - stripped back piano, distant reverb, vulnerable breathy vocals]
If I said I was fine, I’d be lying tonight
I’m still fighting the tears in the pale streetlight
If love comes back around, I’ll be here waiting
Heart open wide, still hoping, still shaking
[Final Chorus - full EDM swell, massive kick, airy vocal chops, desperate ad-libs]
Come back, come back, I’m not okay without you
I’m drowning in the dark, I don’t know what to do
If you can hear me through the midnight blue
I’m still in love, still stuck on you
Come back, come back, I can’t let go of this pain
Every beat in my chest still calls out your name
I’d give anything to feel your heartbeat too
I’m still in love, still stuck on you
[Outro - fading pads, heartbeat kick, reversed vocal echoes]
Still stuck on you
Still stuck on you
In the dark, in the rain
I keep calling out your name
