lyrics

I’ve got a wall broken down in my head
I’ve got Lucifer spooning me in my bed
and for a living I kill things that are already dead
but that’s my life, that’s my life

and I went down this road despite the warning signs
the road so far paved with fire and salt lines
and I tried my very best to stop the end of times
but that’s my life, that’s my life

but I’m okay as long as I’ve got family
I’m okay as long as I don’t remember what I had
I’m okay if I don’t think about what I’ve lost
like Mom and Jess and Dad

but I’m okay, I’m fine, I swear I’m okay
I’m okay, I’m all right, I mean, I’m really okay
I know I’ve seen some things that’d make a sinner pray
but it’s fine, it’s my life, it’s my life
I’m okay.

And I was raised on the trigger of a gun
taught to do my job, cut my ties, and run
but I know I could have been a more grateful son
but it’s my life, it’s my life

and I lost so much during that bloody war
even now I can’t stand the fighting anymore
but other people’ve got it worse
so what am I crying for?
it’s my life, it’s my life

but I’m okay as long as Dean is smiling
I’m okay as long as Dean knows where to go
I’m okay if I forget that it’s my fault
that we lost Pam and Ellen and Jo

but I’m okay, I’m fine, I swear I’m okay
I’m okay, I’m all right, I mean, I’m really okay
I know these aren’t the sort of things you can just wish away
but it’s fine, it’s my life, it’s my life
I’m okay.

I know my gourd is cracked but I feel the same
the world is ending, I’m the one to blame
and I can’t tell what’s real and what’s the devil’s game
but it’s my life, it’s my life
and I know there’s people who are worried for me
but the most important thing is having family
and I’ve still got Dean and Cas and Bobby…
well I’ve still got Dean and Bobby…
well I’ve still got Dean
and I’ll always have Dean
but I’m okay, I’m fine, I swear I’m okay
I’m okay, I’m all right, I mean, I’m really okay
I know today might seem like a really bad day
but it’s fine, it’s my life, it’s my life
I’m okay.
