Never been okay since then

Arpan Dey 2004 (West Bengal)



I was quite alright,
You know, okay.
But after I came to know -
I just went astray.

It was unbelievably good:
Just not knowing.
But anyway I had to know;
It's inevitable I think.

I've never been okay,
Never been okay since then.
Sudden bursts of euphoria
Came and faded again.

I was flung into the harsh reality -
Again and again and again.
I've never been okay since then -
And never will I be again.

Never been okay since then
Never been okay since then
Never been okay since then
Never been okay since then
