Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I smile, but it don’t reach, does it? I say I’m good, say I’m fine, but it keeps slipping through. A little too much, a little too late, and I don’t know what to do. Some nights I’m barely in my skin, like nobody’d notice if I fade. A fake little laugh, same old face, but it never keeps me safe. So when the tears come down, know I gave all I had, ooh, I gave all I had. Too tired now, sleep won’t come, just a weak little smile in the crack. Ah, I’m still here, holding on to what’s left of the truth. So when I finally cry, know I gave all I had, I gave all I had. I leave the lamp on low at night, just to keep the dark from closing in. Clothes still piled by the door, I keep saying I’ll deal with them. Phone face down, let it stay that way, I can’t do another “you okay?” I say “yeah” like I mean it, then it falls away. So when the tears come down, know I gave all I had, ooh, I gave all I had. Too tired now, sleep won’t come, just a weak little smile in the crack. Ah, I’m still here, holding on to what’s left of the truth. So when I finally cry, know I gave all I had, I gave all I had. If I go numb, let me sit there a while, if I can’t answer, I’m still in this place. Same small room, same late hour, same worn-out mouth saying “I’m fine” too fast. So when the tears come down, know I gave all I had, I gave all I had, ooh, I gave all I had. Ah, I gave all I had.
