She’s Not Okay Lyrics by Knox, tells the story of a tumultuous relationship with a woman who’s clearly struggling with mental health and substance issues. Despite her chaotic behavior and instability, the narrator is deeply attached to her. He sees through her denial and self-diagnoses, yet keeps getting drawn back in by love and emotional dependence. The relationship is toxic, but there’s a strange comfort in the pain, and he’s willing to stay with her—even if it means losing himself in the process.

She’s Not Okay Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She went off the meds again
Says she likes her messy head
I smell liquor on her breath without a mixer
And, yeah, she promises she’s fine
But I can read between those lines
She’s so high but I’m convinced that I can fix her
She’s so self-diagnosed but she gets close
Gets me so stoned and I forget
[Chorus]
She’s not okay, no
She might never change
But no one really does
I guess there’s pleasure in the pain
And there’s not a day goes by
That I don’t say she’s probably insane
But I might be the same, oh
Sometimes love hurts
But I’ll love her anyway
[Verse 2]
No, she never leaves the bed
Except for me and Percocets
And there’s still some from last nights bender on the table
Yeah, all her X’s turn to O’s
I think there’s something in her nose
She crying rivers while she’s screaming, she’s unstable
So self-diagnosed but she gets close
Takes off her clothes and I forget
[Chorus]
She’s not okay, no
She might never change
But no one really does
I guess there’s pleasure in the pain
And there’s not a day goes by
That I don’t say she’s probably insane
But I might the same
Sometimes love hurts
But I’ll love her anyway
[Bridge]
Yeah, there’s something pretty toxic
How I love the way she lost it
I keep fallin’ deeper in those bloodshot eyes
And she says rehab is for quitters
But I’d probly check in with her
If it meant that I would be right by her side
Yeah, there’s something pretty toxic
How I love the way she lost it
I keep fallin’ deeper in those bloodshot eyes
So I’ll get sober for the season
Then resuscitate my demons
‘Cause she’s off her f*ckin’ rocker, but she’s mine
[Chorus]
She’s not okay, no
She might never change
But no one really does
I guess there’s pleasure in the pain
And there’s not a day goes by
That I don’t say she’s probably insane
But I might the same
Sometimes love hurts
But I’ll love her
Sometimes love hurts
But I’ll love her
Sometimes love hurts
But I’ll love her anyway
