英语摇滚歌曲:I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

摇滚:My Chemical Romance¹ - I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

相关介绍 ：我不敢肯定My Chemical Romance是不是emo的发起人，但绝对是emo的推动者，他们在去年把emo真正提到了主流乐坛的高度，2004年的专辑Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge²是去年一张非常畅销的专辑。抓紧这个机会在大赚一笔的想法也是很正常的，就这样一张不怎么样的现场加demo加DVD的专辑闪亮登场，Life on the Murder Scene由一张CD和两张DVD组成，CD收录了他们的现场和demo以及从来没有发行的Desert Song。一张DVD收录了一部类似于记录片的影片，另外一张DVD是一些零星的现场演出。CD中的他们有些让人失望，现场的表演只能说一般，也许更好捕捉现场的手段是影像。但能听到熟悉的旋律也让我满意了。专辑封套是Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge封套的真人版，有些恐怖。

歌词 ：

Song ：I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
Artist ：My Chemical Romance

Well if you wanted honesty,
That's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go,
it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks,
The photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot
from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
You wear me out.

What will it take to show you
that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words
but still don't know what they mean
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook³
I held you close as we both shook for the last time
Take a good hard look!

I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
You wear me out.

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took?
You said you read me like a book,
with the pages all torn and frayed⁴

I'm okay.
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)

But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean it
I'm okay!
(Trust me.)

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
well i'm not okay
i'm not fucking okay
(i'm not okay)
i'm not okay(okay)
