Why are you gettIng concerned? 

---

It's really sTarting to confuse me. 

You say I Haven't been acting the same. 

And you're worrIed about me.  

You're afraid I'm Not feeling alright. 

You Keep asking how I've been. 

--- 

Look, I appreciate the concern. 

It's really sweet.

I'm glad I Mean so much to you. 

---  

But you Don't need to be. 

Really, I'm fine. 

I know yOu don't believe me. 

But I Wish you would relax about it. 

I don't waNt to add stress to your life. 

If I was feeling sad,   

You kNow I'd tell you 

I'd never be holdinG it back. 

--- 

Never.
