Chances Are — I’m Fine

Verse 1 She said I’m fine when nothing was fine And he believed it because it was easier that way She said I’m fine but her eyes said something different And he looked away But somewhere underneath those two small words Was everything she needed him to hear And the longer she kept saying I’m fine The further apart they would appear Chorus Chances are when she says I’m fine What she really means is I stopped believing you would listen Chances are when he says I’m fine What he really means is I don’t know how to say what’s missing Chances are the words were never really the point It’s the story underneath that keeps missing the joint Chances are if you stopped and really saw each other You would find two people drowning in the distance Verse 2 He said I’m fine on a Tuesday night When the weight of everything had nowhere left to go He said I’m fine and she said okay And they both went quiet in a way that only they would know But fine was never what either of them needed Fine was just the wall they learned to hide behind And a thousand little I’m fines stacked on top of each other Is how two people lose each other over time Chorus Chances are when she says I’m fine What she really means is I stopped believing you would listen Chances are when he says I’m fine What he really means is I don’t know how to say what’s missing Chances are the words were never really the point It’s the story underneath that keeps missing the joint Chances are if you stopped and really saw each other You would find two people drowning in the distance Bridge What if instead of I’m fine You said I’m not okay and I need you to stay What if instead of okay He said tell me what’s really going on today What if the realest thing you ever said to each other Was the thing you have been too afraid to say What if I’m fine was the wall And honest was the door And everything you have been missing Was just waiting on the other side Outro Chances are You both just needed someone to ask Chances are You both just needed to take off the mask And most important, remember you are extraordinary.
