Watch her smile across the conference table Watch her nod like she's completely stable That's me, I think, or something like me Hard to tell from here, honestly She says the right things at the right time Laughs a little, stays in line I'm somewhere just behind her eyes Watching her perform and wondering why Nobody sees the gap Between the face and what's inside Nobody sees me watching From the other side I'm made of glass and nobody looks through They just see the surface, think they know the view I'm standing right here, barely holding on Somebody finally asks and I say I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine I'm fine Ran into someone I used to know She says you look great, I say thanks, I know Smile that doesn't make it to my eyes She doesn't notice, nobody tries This version of me is so convincing Even I forget sometimes I'm missing Somewhere in the static and the noise I lost the thread back to my own voice Nobody sees the gap Between the face and what's inside Nobody sees me watching From the other side I'm made of glass and nobody looks through They just see the surface, think they know the view I'm standing right here, barely holding on Somebody finally asks and I say I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine I'm fine And the worst part isn't that they don't see it The worst part is I hand them the glass Polish it myself every morning Make sure nothing shows, make sure nothing lasts Someone looks me in the eye today Are you okay, they said And something in me almost answered But I smiled instead I'm fine I'm fine
