I'm Fine


"I'm fine."

 

The words ring out

I wish to believe it 

Yet in the face that spoke

I see only doubt

 

Why be fine when you're not? 

Be sad and I'll cry too 

Be angry and we'll avenge

Still over again we fought 

 

You insist on a lie

Rather than what I beg for

I've wanted to help you

If you'd just speak your mind

 

Even my enemies and I 

Have the courtesy to be honest 

You are a part of me

Don't tell me that you're fine
