Paramore - Tell Me It's Okay (Self-Titled Demo) [Official Audio]

Paramore's official audio for "Tell Me It's Okay (Self-Titled Demo)" from 'Paramore: Self-Titled Deluxe' - available now on Fueled By Ramen.

LYRICS
Maybe it's been years since I genuinely smiled
Maybe it's been years since I wanted to be a part of anything
But lately I've been good you know I've actually been great
Man, I even laughed a little today, aw so strange, so strange

Tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay

Thought it as my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory
But something had to give I had to finally see the light
I think at 23 it's time to practice what I preach
And what I preach is:

All my wasted hope, I let go when I should've held tighter
And now when the sun is out, I let it burn, not afraid to feel it shine on me

Tell me it's okay

Tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, my life is finally leveling out, so
Tell me it's okay

I just realized I will always love Paramore :) 

[TessaEmilyMarie]

For anyone who need to hear it: It's okay to be happy now.

[brandonmauldin]

Her voice is a cure, doesnt matter what album.

Am I the only one who thinks this song is really sad? Everytime she repeats "Tell me it's okay" again and again, she seems to be telling it to herself as if she wanted to believe it -- but deep down she knows it is not.

[nikhilchauhan]

Paramore 2011 - 22 is like the worst idea that I've ever had
Paramore 2013 - I think at 23 it's time to practice what I preach

Paramore 2007 - I'm in the business of misery
Paramore 2013 - I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory

[aclisson]

Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but I see references to Misery Business and Hello Cold World. Also kind of makes me think of I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by MCR.

[mEtAlMaNiAc]

i like paramore demos  better than the album songs!!! this song is sick. kinda pop punk lol 

[stxriesunfold]

My favourite part is where the instruments fade out and it's Hayley softly singing "tell me it's okay"

[Mel]

THEY SHOULD PLAY THIS AGAIN !!! IT'S SICK ♥♥

[madzv]

This song is so punk ... How do people say paramore is pop? And even their more "poppy" music incorporates their older style. But who cares. Paramore is paramore . I swear there's a different genre for each paramore song .

[writingtherapy]

I think it'd be really cool if they made an album with this kind of sound. It's like the older albums of Paramore (like All We Know Is Falling and Riot, maybe even one of those old demos but it has this new feel to it.) It kinda sums up all the music they've ever done into one. It's great.

[sarahgarratt]

These bonus tracks are ones that they couldn't put on albums or couldn't decide which ones to put on the deluxe edition or normal album or old ones of way back hidden b sides hidden away. This song is my favourite one of the bonus tracks

[Amanderpoo]

THE RASPY VOICE THING AT 0:34 I'M DEAD

[erickfabriciopacheco]

I like paramore since I was 20... Now, I'm 30 and I pass through a lot of things with their songs... I just have to say, Thank you Paramore and Hayley for all you've done for me... The most special band of my life...

[lilab.]

I hope with this song (and with Escape Route for example) all unsatisfied people stop complaining that Paramore is only Pop now and that they changed too much and that they soldout... because they fu**** didn't!!

[LittleSwiftGaming]

There's something about Paramore that just makes them and their music so unique and different...which is why I'm proud to love Paramore

[jacobstinnett]

Loved this song for a long time, then decided one day that I wasn't going to touch it again until I felt I was happy. Until I could relate.

Listening now, a few years later, with that goal achieved.

It's okay.

[GabiCardial]

The truth is: people are never satisfied! Paramore is the same. It wasn't the end of the band when Josh and Zac got out... Paramore is not just them! Paramore is about the feelings they put on the songs and, above all, the fans. Like Hayley always says: WE are Paramore!
