Verse 1] Wanna know how I’m doing? Pretty shit actually Thanks for asking politely While I’m dying quietly Got good grades Nice face Smile nailed into place Everyone says I’m thriving What a funny word to waste [Pre-Chorus] I sleep too much Or not at all I feel too big I feel too small Everybody says “It gets better soon” Funny—I’ve been hearing that since middle school [Chorus] I’m fine I’m fine That’s the lie I use online Post a picture Add a filter Cry myself to sleep at night I laugh loud Talk fast Pretend this feeling doesn’t last Wanna know how I’m doing? Pretty shit actually [Verse 2] My friends all think I’m funny I make trauma into jokes If I keep everybody laughing Maybe no one gets too close My room’s a mess My head is worse I romanticize my hurt Then get uncomfortable When people notice it first [Pre-Chorus] Drink more coffee Skip more meals Call it coping Call it real Everybody says “You’re still so young” Yeah, and somehow I’m already fucking done [Chorus] I’m fine That’s the lie I use online Post a picture Add a filter Cry myself to sleep at night I laugh loud Talk fast Pretend this feeling doesn’t last Wanna know how I’m doing? Pretty shit actually [Bridge] I don’t wanna be tragic I don’t wanna be deep I just wanna wake up someday And not feel exhausted by me Is that dramatic? Maybe so But I thought that I should let you know [Final Chorus / Outro] I’m fine I’m fine Getting really good at lying If you ask me how I’m doing— I’ll say “good” and change the timing But if you ask when no one’s watching I’ll tell you honestly Wanna know how I’m doing? Pretty shit— Actually.
