When everything's going wrong
and things are just a little strange
it's been so long now
you've forgotten how to smile
over head the skys are clear but it still seems to rain on you
and your only friends all have better things to do

[CHORUS]
when you're down and lost
and you need a helping hand
when you're down and lost along the way
oh just tell yourself
I'll, I'll be okay

now things are only getting worse
and you need someone to take the blame
when the love has gone
there's no one to share the pain
been sleepin with the tv on
and lying in an empty bed
all the alcohol in the world would never help me through it again

[CHORUS]
when you're down and lost
and you need a helping hand
when you're down and lost along the way
just try a little harder, try your best to make it through the day
oh just tell yourself,
I'll, I'll be okay

you're not alone (you're not alone)
you're not alone (you're not alone)
you're not alone

just tell yourself...
I'll, I'll be okay

oh just tell yourself
I'll, I'll be okay

won't you tell yourself
I'll, I'll

[CHORUS]
when you're down and lost
and you need a helping hand
when you're down and lost along the way
try a little harder try your best to make it through the day
oh just tell yourself,
I'll, I'll be okay

I'll, I'll be okay
I'll, I'll be okay
I'll, I'll be okay
