"I'm Fine"

Stepping outside to another grey sky
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work
Some days you can't help but feel stuck
Please tell me, what am I living for?

I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm Fine"

The man in my mirror's a stranger I know
He points to the past and tells me to go
The one my heart longs for is long gone
Why bother writing one more song?
But we all gotta just carry on

I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm Fine"

Being in love is just life's cruel game
No matter what, she won't feel the same
Why play when you know you'll always lose?

I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
Just ignore all the signs
That tell her my life is just falling apart
Learn to fake smile
Just for a while
'Til I get home, then the sadness resumes
I see her once more
Then just like before
I'm in love all over and there's naught I can do
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm Fine"
Ah, tell her "I'm Fine"
I'm lying "I'm Fine"
I'm crying "I'm Fine"
I'm dying but "I'm Fine"
Just sigh, say "I'm Fine"
Fine, I'm not fine

Author's Note
"I'm fine. Really. Sure, I have a huge unrequited love for you while the rest of my world crumbles, but I'm fine. I love that I can always talk to you about everything. I love you. I'm sorry... No, I'm fine. Really, I'm fine..."
