Is that okay?

My mom would always talk about me to her friends
So proud of all the things that I accomplished
So I made she had lots to say
With 4.0
And the lead in the show

But one winter I just broke and I have to say
That the silence got so loud that I thought I'd fade away

So I gotta know, is it okay?
That this is all I have say

But I'm trying
To do my best
But sometimes I have to fail the test
Sometimes I need the space to cry
And the space the breathe for the first time
Is that okay?
Is that okay?

It's in silence where I put up my walls
The kind that are made of brick and stone
Where I find myself all alone
Unless you count the shadows
Will you still remember me?
Even if I don't achieve my dreams?

Will you still be proud of me?
If I crumble into debris

'Cause I'm trying
To do my best
But sometimes I have to fail the test
Sometimes I need the space to cry
And the space the breathe for the first time
Is that okay?
Is that okay?

Please don't abandon me
And say you still believe
I'll find, my to the other side
But if you catch me crying
Just know I'm tiptoeing the line
And sometimes I fall off to the side
But I promise, I'll be fine

I am trying
To do my best
But sometimes I have to fail the test
Sometimes I need the space to cry
And the space the breathe for the first time
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
