Say I’m Fine - Daisie

If I say this to you If I say it enough If I hold my head high Look you straight in the eye If I breathe like I’m steady And Act like im ready Then maybe Just maybe I don't disappoint you (or me) ⸻ So I’ll Say I’m fine Say I’m fearless Say I don’t crack when it just got serious I’ll let you Tell me I’m bright Tell me I’m strong Even when it feels wrong Say I shine Say I’m golden Say I’m brave when I’m folding If I say it one more time If I say it one more time Maybe you’ll believe I’m fine and it’s love ⸻ You say I light up a room Like I don’t fall apart Like confidence isn’t a costume zipped up tight over my heart Hands deep in my jacket Nails pressed in my palm If I smile through it You won’t ask what’s wrong ⸻ If you’re choosing to stay While I drift away If you say it enough Maybe it’s true If you look at me like I don’t scare you Then maybe maybe I love you ⸻ Say I’m fine Say I’m fearless Say I don’t break when it’s serious Tell me I’m light Tell me I’m whole Even when I lose control Say I shine Say I’m glowing Say I know where I’m going If I repeat it one more time If I repeat it one more time Maybe you’ll believe I’m fine ⸻ What if I stop saying it What if I let it show What if I don’t rehearse it What if you already know No script No shield Just skin Just real ⸻ Say I’m fine Say I’m fearless Say I don’t break when it gets serious Tell me I’m bright Tell me I’m strong Even when it feels wrong Say I shine Say I’m golden Say I’m brave when I’m folding If I say it one more time If I say it one more time I don’t need you to believe I’m fine ⸻ I’m fine Not flawless I’m strong Even when I pause No proving No performing I decide I’m fine And this is Love
