Just Don't Ask Me How I Am

I can get up early, I can be on time I can read the paper, and seem completely fine I'll be smiling when you see me, yea I'll do the best I can Just don't ask me how I am I put on my raincoat so I can't feel the rain I cut my heart off of my sleeve, so I can't feel the pain You can ask about my day, and I'll tell you about my plans Just don't ask me how I am Cause I'm lonely, and I'm weary, and I'm all torn up inside There are moments, I feel hopeless, like I'm just biding my time And there's nothing, I could tell you, to help you understand So just don't ask me how I am I'm almost sleeping through the night, and my routine hasn't changed Company can come around, and I can entertain We can go out on the town, I'll drink and laugh and dance Just don't ask me how I am We can talk about the weather, you an ask about my job But don't ask me for directions, I'm completely lost Cause I'm lonely, and I'm weary, and I'm all torn up inside There are moments, I feel hopeless, like I'm just biding my time And there's nothing I could tell you, to help you understand So just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am.
