Maybe it's been years since I've genuinely smiled
And maybe it's been years since I've 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
It's 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, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
Verse
I 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 give, I had to finally see the light
I think at twenty-three It's time to practice what I preach, and what I'm preaching
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, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
All my wasted hope
I let go when I shoulda held tighter
And now when it flames out
I let it burn
I'm not afraid to feel it shine on me
Bridge
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, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
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
Outro
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
