Jumping to Conclusions
Calm down
I’m fine
These problems aren’t yours, they’re mine
Don’t worry, I’m not gonna die
Not even gonna try
Now, that's not to say I don’t want to
I’m saying I won’t do that to you
What are you talking about? I’m fine
There’s no need for you to hear me whine
About all of my problems, all of my issues
Goddamit I’m wasting your tissues
I’m overstaying my welcome
Oh come on, don’t be dumb
I’m okay
I won’t die today
I’m okay
I’m okay
I’m okay
Who am I kidding
I’m not fucking okay
But that’s not safe for me to say
The second I stop smiling you fear the worst
Explain to me, why your first
Thought is that I’m hurting myself?
