The story behind the song
This one came from a time when I was holding a lot in and nobody seemed to notice. I was trying to fake it till I made it, in life and in music, feeling like I didn’t fit the playlist and wasn’t sure how to find my way. Some days I’d pray even when I wasn’t sure I believed. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what you’re going through. It’s realizing nobody thought to ask. This song is that question I wish someone had asked me.
— Danny
“You Never Asked If I'm OK” lyrics
Verse 1
Making my own way like the astronauts in space
Gotta fake it till I make it somehow
Feeling like I'm stealing an identity
I'm dealing with some emotional demons right now
Refrain
I don't know how to find the way
But you know I try it every day
Down on my knees, I start to pray
But I don't believe in God today
Verse 2
Taking on the day with these feelings in the way
Got me feeling kind of different right now
Sit back in the corner with a chip up on my shoulder
'Cause I'm judging everybody both ways
Chorus
You never asked if I'm OK
I think I'm about to turn the page
Or I'll end up in a shallow grave
'Cause I can't remember yesterday
Bridge
If you wanna make it
They say you have to fake it
And I really cannot take it
'Cause I just don't fit the playlist now
Refrain
I don't know how to find the way
But you know I try it every day
Down on my knees, I start to pray
But I don't believe in God today
Chorus
You never asked if I'm OK
I think I'm about to turn the page
Or I'll end up in a shallow grave
'Cause I can't remember yesterday
Verse 1
Making my own way like the astronauts in space

I don't know how to find the way
But you know I try it every day
Down on my knees, I start to pray
But I don't believe in God today
I don't know how to find the way

Down on my knees, I start to pray
But I don't believe in God today

Verse 3
Feeling like I'm stealing an identity

Sit back in the corner with a chip up on my shoulder

You never asked if I'm OK
I think I'm about to turn the page
Or I'll end up in a shallow grave
'Cause I can't remember yesterday
