"I'm not okay" by My Chemical Romance.
And the swearing's not me. See here.
Okay, there's a little swearing in the story too.
Quigley . . . we need to talk . . .
The words were swimming around my head since I had listened to them on the machine that morning. I wondered what she wanted to talk about.
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.
I'm still triumphing inside that six months ago Violet had left Duncan . . . for me.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I turned and headed into the cafe in which we had previously professed our love for each other. There, sitting in our booth, was my girlfriend.
I'm not okay
You wear me out
"Hey," I said.
She didn't reply. She was staring out the window.
"Vi?"
She looked into my eyes. They were red from . . . crying?
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
"Quigley," she said in a hoarse voice. "There's something I have to tell you . . ."
"What?"
"It's over."
I stared over her shoulder at what she'd been looking at out the window.
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn and frayed
Duncan.
It was Duncan.
The truth hit Quigley like a brick.
I'm okay, now
"You're leaving me for him?"
She looked me in the eye.
"No - FUCKING - way!" I gasped.
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
"Are you okay?"
God, she had to ask that.
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
With a roar of rage, I sprinted out of the cafe and onto the street.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
The bus smacked into my body . . .
I'm not okay
And I could feel no more.
