I'm Fine
Those words sound so foreign spilling out of my mouth.
I tried to hold my tongue, but they just kept pouring out.
I spit out the lies,
Hide behind my worn-out alibis.
Your eyes lock with mine,
Both filled with that deceit we’ve perfected through time.
He’s the king of ok,
I’m the queen of fine.
Our castle with the foundation of lies is tumbling,
The barricades are crumbling,
But we’ll smile and look away,
Because I’m fine, and you’re ok.
I say, “Don’t worry, babe, about a thing.”
As I stare at that cheap promise ring.
We live in a magical, tragic place.
Smiles aglow on our second face.
With both afraid to tell the truth,
It’s far too easy to drown in the fountain of youth.
He’s the king of ok,
I’m the queen of fine.
Our castle with the foundation of lies is tumbling,
The barricades are crumbling,
But we’ll smile and look away,
Because I’m fine, and you’re ok.
We’ll never be able to see through the mask to our minds,
Because someone told us that love was blind.
We can’t see the light at the end,
And we’ll keep falling down the rabbit hole.
Even with the dim light dying,
We’ll keep losing, misusing, and lying,
We’ll smile and look away,
Because I’m fine, and you’re ok.
