Verse 1 I was raised on thin walls and slammed doors Learned my ABCs in emotional wars Mom disappeared, Dad says “try to understand” Stepmom keeps score with a smile and a hand I carry ashes like jewelry chic Grief on my chest, but I still look neat People say “wow, you’re so strong” like a joke Yeah, thanks—I had no other road Pre-Chorus They tell me “let it go” like it’s clutter in a drawer Like I didn’t rebuild myself on a cracked kitchen floor Chorus I’m fine, obviously Can’t you tell by the way I flinch? I’m healed, apparently Just ignore the way my jaw still clenches I close doors quietly, so no one gets mad I learned that lesson from the family I had I’m calm, I’m cool, I’m totally free I’m fine— obviously. Verse 2 Coworkers trauma-dump by the clock Like addiction is gossip, not a live wire shock I smile, I nod, I go ice-cold inside My nervous system screams, “We are not safe,” real-time Brother’s a ghost with my last name Same fire, different burns, different flames We survived the house, but not the same way And loving him hurts in a long-distance way Pre-Chorus They say “but family’s family” like it’s law Funny how that never saved us at all Chorus I’m fine, obviously I wear boundaries like fashion now I’m grown, allegedly Still cry in the car but quieter somehow I don’t raise my voice, I just leave instead That’s growth, right? Or unresolved dread I’m soft, I’m sharp, I’m finally me I’m fine— obviously. Bridge You want polite pain? I ran out. You want silence? Already did that. You want forgiveness without accountability? Oh babe— That door’s closed. Locked. Weatherstripped. Breakdown My grief has bones and they hold me upright I wasn’t saved, I survived the fight Born in wreckage, still standing tall If this is broken, then break me more Final Chorus I’m fine, aggressively Like I fought for every breath I’m healed, selectively I keep my peace, you can keep the rest I don’t explain, I don’t beg, I don’t bleed on cue I don’t shrink myself to make room for you I’m loud, I’m real, I’m finally free I’m fine— (beat drop) OBVIOUSLY.
