I've Been Better

How are you?

How you been?

But tell me 

Do you really care?

All these feelings boiling up to the surface

So, all I say is: I've been better.

Cause that's all I can say.

So conversations end here 

Or you say blah blah “everything will be alright.”

It's not that simple.

But now I know 

If I don't want to speak 

I'll simply say: I've been better.

And if you are smart enough...

It endds thereee.
