I'm fine, that's what I always say
Even when I'm feeling broken and alone
But deep down, I know it's not true
There's a pain that won't go away
I hide it all behind a fake smile
Try to keep it together for those around me
But inside, I'm drowning in a sea of despair
And I don't know how to make it stop
I keep scratching at my skin until it bleeds
But the pain on the outside doesn't even compare to the pain inside
It's a never-ending cycle that I can't seem to break free from
But I keep telling myself I'm fine
Because I don't want anyone to worry about me I put on a brave face and keep pushing through the darkness
But deep down, I know it's only a matter of time before I break
And when that day comes, I don't know if I'll ever be able to pick up the pieces again.
