[Intro] [vinyl crackle and soft tape hiss] [faint acoustic guitar pluck] [Verse 1] I tie my hair, put my headphones on Say "morning!" like nothing's wrong Make a joke so they don't ask too long It's just easier this way [Pre-Chorus] [music thins out] Not trying to be secret... Just don't want to make it a thing [Chorus] [soft echo delay on vocals] I'm... fine, with a little smile I'm... fine, just tired for a while No big deal, don't worry 'bout me I'll be okay... eventually I'm... fine [Verse 2] [soft static texture builds] On the couch, say I'm just a little low "Did you eat okay?" "Yeah!" even though... I don't want to bring the mood down low So I keep it light, you know? [Chorus] [dreamy reverb] I'm... fine, just a quiet day I'm... fine, in my own small way You don't have to fix me, it's okay I just smile through it anyway I'm... fine [Bridge: fragile, a cappella with tape delay] [instruments fade to just vinyl crackle] Some days are just like this... A little off... a little amiss Doesn't mean I need you to worry It'll pass, no hurry [Outro] [soft guitar returns, very distant] So if you ask me how I've been I'll say I'm fine... with a little grin And maybe tomorrow... [whisper] I will be. [tape stops crackling, sudden silence]
