Lyrics

I'm okay
Yeah
I'm good
I showed up right on time
Said all the normal things
Held my drink with steady hands
Didn't let it sting
I laughed when it was needed
Paused when someone spoke
Played the part of someone
Who was not about to break
I memorized the rhythm
Of how calm is supposed to sound
If you never miss a step
They never ask you how
I smiled right
I stayed polite
I said the words
I always do
No one saw
How close I was
To telling them
The truth
I'm fine—fine—
I'm fine
Mm
I answered every question
With a tone that felt rehearsed
Skipped the parts that mattered
Kept the ending blurred
They said "you seem different"
Like that was a good sign
I nodded like improvement
Doesn't feel like lying
It's easier to hide it
When you've had the time to learn
How to keep your breathing even
While your chest still burns
I smiled right
I stayed polite
Didn't let my hands betray
No one saw
How close I was
To letting everything cave
If I fall apart quietly
Would anyone notice then?
Or does it only count as real
When it's loud enough to end?
I smiled right
I stayed polite
Left early
Like I should
No one saw
How close I was
To not being this good
Still standing
Still pretending
Still intact
