LINA VEYRA -TRACK 4 — I’M FINE, ACTUALLY

[Clean Guitar Intro – Mid-Tempo] You ask how I’m doing Like you want the short version Something neat and easy Something that won’t slow you down [Verse 1] I could say I’m better I could say I’m okay But those words come pre-packaged To make discomfort go away I learned early how to smile How to say what’s expected How to soften the truth So it doesn’t get rejected [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need fixing I need space [Chorus] I’m fine, actually Just not in the way you expect I’m holding it together Without pretending it didn’t hurt I don’t need saving I don’t need sympathy I’m fine, actually Just learning how to be me [Verse 2] I didn’t break I adjusted I didn’t fall apart I adapted You call it resilience Like it’s something I chose But surviving quietly Still leaves its marks [Pre-Chorus 2] Strength doesn’t always shout Sometimes it breathes [Chorus] I’m fine, actually Not numb, not afraid Just done apologising For the shape I had to take [Bridge – Intimate] You confuse strength With silence [Final Chorus] I’m fine, actually That’s the truth Not because it was easy But because I made it through [Outro] That’s the truth
