i wanna say

It's getting kinda hard to answer
Simple questions like "are you okay?"
Getting kinda bored with detachment
But I wouldn't have it any other way

Wanna know the reason I'm like this
Wouldn't it be nice if I could just say
Made it pretty clear I don't want to
But I'm sure you're gonna ask anyway

I'm gonna practice every day
Sounding out the word "okay" (okay...)
Answering questions in cliché
Just because I wanna say

"I'm just fine"
I wanna say "I'm all good"
I wanna say "I'm doing great"
I wanna keep a straight face while I lie to your face

Wish I could say "I'm just fine"
I wish I could say "I'm all good"
I wish I could say "I'm doing great"
Wish I could keep a straight face while I lie to your face
While I lie to you

It's not that hard to understand
My honesty is not our friend
You think you want it on demand
Okay, try this

Lately, I've been thinking maybe
Singing this is crazy
Shutting off is safety
Days have been a hazy
Version of themselves
I would say more, but you're somewhere else
So fuck it

I'm gonna practice every day
Sounding out the word "okay" (okay...)
Answering questions in cliché
(Smiling as I pull away)
Just because I wanna say

"I'm just fine"
I wanna say "I'm all good"
I wanna say "I'm doing great"
I wanna keep a straight face while I lie to your face

Wish I could say "I'm just fine"
I wish I could say "I'm all good"
I wish I could say "I'm doing great"
Wish I could keep a straight face while I lie to your face
While I lie to you

I wanna say "I'm doing great"
And as far as you can see, I'm talking straight
And there's nothing here to hide
I'm finally able to overcome this cloud that I've been under
What's that? No, I'm not crying, you're crying
Shut up, yea whatever

I wanna say I'm
