I say I'm fine, I say I'm okay, but that's not always…
“I say I'm fine, I say I'm okay, but that's not always true, I guess I was a little too into you, you like her, I like you, but you didn't notice or see it through, I ache, I cry, I try to say goodbye, but to turn out that light without you by my side I believe I would die, I try to be tough, but those lines were rough, so now I'm done with love focusing on what's above I'm seriously fine I say it all the time but everyone bets on a dime that I'm not alright now I must turn out the light and say goodnight.”
