I'm Fine But I'm Not Okay✨

[Intro – low, dark, restrained] How am I doing? I’m fine… That’s the answer Nobody questions anymore [Verse 1] I wake up with a war inside my head Put on a face before I leave the bed Nobody sees what I carry around I keep it buried where it can’t make a sound I laugh at the right time I say the right words I tell them I’m good Like they’ve never heard But underneath Something’s coming undone [Pre-Chorus – building] I’ve been holding my breath For so damn long I forgot what it feels like To say something’s wrong [Chorus – massive] I’m fine But I’m not okay I’ve been saying it so long It almost sounds true today I’m fine Yeah, that’s what I say While something inside me Is slowly breaking away [Verse 2 – darker] I drive these empty roads With the headlights low Radio turned up So I don’t have to know Every mile I put behind me Still follows where I go You can run from a memory But you can’t outrun your soul So if you ask me I’ll give you the same old lie I’m fine… [Pre-Chorus – heavier] I’ve been wearing this armor Like a second skin Nobody knows What’s underneath [Chorus – heavier] I’m fine But I’m not okay I’ve been saying it so long It almost sounds true today I’m fine Yeah, that’s what I say While something inside me Is slowly breaking away [Progressive Breakdown – dark, atmospheric] Maybe I’m tired Of pretending I’m strong Maybe I’m tired Of saying nothing’s wrong Maybe the truth Is the hardest thing to say I’m not fine… I’m not okay… [Final Chorus – huge] I’m fine But I’m not okay There’s a storm in my chest That won’t go away I’m fine Yeah, that’s what I say But the words fall apart When I’m alone at the end of the day I’m fine… I’m fine… But I’m not okay
