I bought that pillow on the couch 'cause it reminded
Me of the colors on your wall, I thought you'd like it
I don't want this to be my last time in this apartment, ooh
You took a day and made some space for me to move in
Said I could take the bottom drawer so that's what I did
You told me I was all you want so now what's changed it? Ooh

Is it wrong to think you're sadistic?
I know you're sleeping perfect
While I'm over here hurting

I'm gonna be okay, right?
I'm gonna be okay, right?
I wish I could tell myself that at night
I'm gonna be okay, right? (yeah)

Don't check my phone
I know for sure you haven't called me
I fill my days with stupid shit to keep me busy
Instead of you
I'm ending every night with whiskey, ooh

Is it wrong to think you're sadistic?
I know you're sleeping perfect
While I'm over here hurting

I'm gonna be okay, right?
I'm gonna be okay, right?
I wish I could tell myself that at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?

And if I go insane (if I go insane)
I, I got you to blame, right? (I got you to blame)
At least that's what I tell myself at night
I'm gonna be okay, right? (I'm gonna be okay)

Ooh
I kinda knew this would hurt just a little too much, ooh
Ooh
I kinda knew this would hurt just a little too much

I'm gonna be okay, right?
I'm gonna be okay, right?
I wish I could tell myself that at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?

And if I go insane 
(If I go insane)
I, I got you to blame, right? 
(If I do, if I do)
At least that's what I tell myself at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?
(Gonna be okay)
Right, right?
