Verse 1:
I know I say I am okay,
But I ain’t doing so well,
I have still got the wounds,
Every time I see the pictures online,
Of you two sharing a plate of fries,
My heart swells one last time,
I’ve got a new guy,
Who likes me just fine,
I should be okay,
But I can’t erase how I trusted you,
I feel so ashamed,
I can not cover up my past with concealer,
Some of the scars  in my heart will still show up,
Some people know the truth,
Of how you dumped me for her,
You have your arm around her,
She is smiling,
You guys look like a couple,
and I am over here,
In tears,
Another guy likes me just fine,
So why am I not alright?

Chorus:
I know I say I am okay,
Some things never change,
The way you dumped me for her,
They way she just ran off with you,
It was not about me,
They can care less about me,
Woah guess I was dreaming,
He likes her,
She likes him,
I don’t know what to feel,
I am not a doll,
I am real,
And getting madder all the time.


Verse 2:
A whole summer has past,
He has his arm around her,
She is sipping soda,
They look so happy,
I’ve got another guy now,
Who likes me just fine,
Why am not alright?
I guess my scars haven’t healed,
I should learn to accept reality,
I just do not know how to feel,
This came out of the blue,
It was a total shock,
He likes her,
And I do not know how to feel,
I am not a doll,
I am real,
My wounds are still waiting to heal,
I know I say I am okay,
But I am still putting bandaids on my heart,
It keeps blistering,
Just give me some peace.

Chorus:
I know I say,
I am okay,
Some things never change,
The way you dumped me for her,
The way she just ran off with you,
It was not about me,
They can care less about me,
Guess I was just dreaming,
When you said you loved me,
He likes her,
She likes him,
I don’t know what to feel,
This came out of the blue,
It was a total shock,
He likes her,
She likes him,
I don’t know what to feel,
I am not  doll,
I am real,
And getting madder all the time.

Verse 3:
he can like whoever he wants,
I just did not expect it to be my best friend,
She can like whoever she wants,
I just did not believe she could pick at my feelings that easily,
It’s okay,
he has moved on,
and I am trying to stay strong,
It just rolled into my brain,
As such a shock to me,
For the first few seconds,
I did not want to believe what was happening,
I wanted to think it was all a dream,
But in my head I know it is real.

Verse 4:
I know I said I was okay,
I know I am strong,
I can move right along,
I don’t need a guy to survive,
But I am allowed to feel,
What I did not believe,
Is true,
He likes her,
She likes him,
It does not erase the wounds,
The scars on my heart won’t leave,
But I can keep them from swelling,
If I believe in myself,
I am stronger that I think,
I will not let this boat of my tears sink,
I will get up and fight one more day,
As I take the waves away,
I am stronger now,
No one can cease my powers,
Of loving me.
