Fine

I know the struggle, it's not easy
So I put up those defenses so that people can't see me
Maybe people don't want to, they don't want to hear what I've gone through
They don't want to know the dark places my brain has gone to
I don't want to bring anyone down, don't want to burden you
I'm certain even if I had the urge to I couldn't break through the surface to
And I wouldn't want to worry you, why would I want to
Offload this weight on another person? You
Might not even listen. You might not really get it
And even if I opened up I'm sure that I'd regret it
You know what, forget it. I'll lie and say I'm fine, I'm healthy
But sometimes I just want someone to tell me

You are gonna be fine
I'll be by your side
You're gonna get through
And I am gonna be there
I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you

I've lived, I've loved, I've been let down
But never have I ever felt so depressed. How
Can I be real when I feel nobody really gets me
They wouldn't get how I feel empty
Now I'm smart enough to know that isn't rational
To think that way, and actually I'm terrified my mind can even do that
Like wait up. Who's that
That's not me, that's not the me that I remember; who I used to be
I miss the days of the smiles and the laughter
These days I smile 'cause I have to
I don't want to reach out, I'll lie and say I'm fine, I'm healthy
But sometimes I just want someone to tell me
I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna get through it
Even if they don't believe it when they say that I'ma do it
Even if they've listened to me and they can't relate
Or if they've never even felt it or been in the same place
I'd rather have them lie to me than me lie to them
Keeping up this whole facade is just so hard, it's gotta end
I'm looking for a way out, a way to end the pain
A way to end these dark thoughts filling up my brain
But these thoughts are only fleeting; I'd say I'd never act on it
Knowing what we say has the potential to go back on it
Maybe I should sleep on it. Maybe I should nap on it
Maybe write a notepad packed and make a track on it
Do I seem detached? 'Cause I think I'm too attached to the inherent pain of life
And gotta learn how to adapt to it
Trying just to navigate it, while I've got no map of it
And no I won't get through it, I will make a fucking path of it
Maybe that's the answer... Maybe that's the lesson that I haven't learned
Maybe peace is a commodity I haven't earned
'Til then I'll say I'm fine, I'm healthy
But sometimes I just want someone to tell me

You are gonna be fine
I'll be by your side
You're gonna get through
And I am gonna be there
I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you

Maybe that's the lesson that I haven't learned
Maybe peace is a commodity I haven't earned
Maybe I'm walking on these bridges that I have to burn
And fuck my inhibitions, I don't want to have to mask the hurt
But I don't want to let them see the shit I'm dealing with
'Cause even when I'm feeling it, to tell them wouldn't help me
So yeah, I guess I'm fine... I'm healthy
And fuck it, I don't need no-one to tell me

You are gonna be fine
I'll be by your side
You're gonna get through
And I am gonna be there
I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you
