Intro
I learned to smile with my jaw clenched tight, Say “I’m good” in rooms where the air don’t bite. Stayed quiet when the warning lights blinked red, Called it love while it pulled me under instead.
Verse 1
I stayed too long, called storms a phase, Painted cracks with jokes, let the ceiling cave. She said “we cool,” I nodded, played dead, Heart kept receipts of every word she said. I made excuses like rent was due, Paid with my spine just to keep the view. Friends said leave, I said “you don’t know,” Truth is fear had me locked in slow.
Pre-chorus
I missed my shot watching clocks stand still, Life kept running, I froze my will.
Chorus
I’m fine, yeah, that’s the lie I keep, I’m fine till the weight don’t let me sleep. I’m fine, say it one more time If I say it loud maybe I believe.
Verse 2
Blamed everybody when the mirror talked, Said they tripped me up while I never walked. Same mess, new face, rerun scenes, Different streets, same bad routines. Loved someone who loved me sideways, I replayed texts like a looped parade. Every “my bad” stuck in my throat, Typed apologies I never wrote.
Verse 3
I left too early, slammed my own door, Thought space was healing, it just hurt more. Wish I could rewind what pride erased, I packed my doubts and left the grace. Toxic friends, yeah I laughed it off, Till the room got quiet and the jokes fell soft. Now the phone don’t light like before, Funny how lonely teaches score.
Bridge
If I had asked for help when the signs screamed loud, Would I be standing here or buried in the crowd? Hands up, voice broke, timing off-key I waited too long to say “save me.”
Verse 4
Dreams I promised got boxed in dust, I walk past them like “maybe next month.” Every promise note I never paid, Interest heavy on the life I delayed. I tell my mom I’m straight, then change the subject, Pockets full of courage I never budgeted.
Verse 5
I’m done hiding leaks with a confident grin, If I’m bleeding now, let the healing begin. I’ll own my steps, every slip, every bruise, Say “I’m sorry” like I got nothing to lose. If you hear this and it hit too close, Say it with me, let the truth be spoke.
Outro
I’m fine… nah, I’m learning to speak, I’m fine… nah, I’m finally me. If you’re fine like I was, cracked inside Put the lie down. Let it slide.
Inside the recording
I learned to smile with my jaw clenched tight, Say “I’m good” in rooms where the air don’t bite.
I missed my shot watching clocks stand still, Life kept running, I froze my will.
I’m fine… nah, I’m learning to speak, I’m fine… nah, I’m finally me.
