I'm Fine

How are you?
I'm fine
You okay?
I'm fine
Are you alright?
I'm fine

Biggest lie
But why waste time with
The truth 
"I'm not fine"
People don't care
They may act like they do
But I know people

You good?
I'm fine
You look like you've been crying
I'm fine
You keep blanking out
I'm fine

Even if someone truly cared
How do I explain
What's going on in my head
I don't even understand myself

I haven't talked to you in so long
I'm fine
You barely talk now
I'm fine
You're crying
I'm fine

I mean
That's what we all say
Right?
To avoid long conversations
To avoid having to truly speak our minds
The truth is
No one is truly fine
And I know that
But our generation is too selfish
To admit
So for now and maybe the rest of my life

I'm fine
