[Intro]
yeah...
you do it every time
[Verse 1]
You smile before anybody asks
Got all the right words down to an art
Everybody nods and moves along
Like nothing's wrong
You laugh when you're supposed to
Say you're doing alright too
And somehow they all believe it
I never do
(not me...)
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's the way your eyes look away
Maybe it's the silence after you say
(yeah...)
[Chorus]
You say you're fine
Yeah, you say you're fine
But your smile never reaches your eyes
(I know...)
And everybody hears the words
But I hear what's hiding underneath tonight
You say you're okay
Like you always do
But if you're asking me
I don't think you are
And I wish you'd let me help you
[Verse 2]
You carry everybody else's weight
Like your own heart can wait
You give away pieces of yourself
Then wonder why there's nothing left
And maybe nobody notices
The way you disappear a little bit
Every time you put yourself last again
And maybe that's what hurts the most
Watching you slowly fade
While everybody tells you
How strong you've always been
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm blind
But I've known you long enough
To know when you're lying
[Chorus]
You say you're fine
Yeah, you say you're fine
But your smile never reaches your eyes
(I know...)
And everybody hears the words
But I hear what's hiding underneath tonight
You say you're okay
Like you always do
But if you're asking me
I don't think you are
And I wish you'd let me help you
[Bridge]
You don't have to be strong
Every second of the day
You don't have to carry everything
Just because everybody expects you to
And I know you won't believe me
And I know you'll push away
But some things get heavier
The longer that they stay
[Final Chorus]
You say you're fine
And maybe everyone else buys it
Maybe everyone else walks away
Thinking you're alright
But I see the cracks
(I see them...)
I see the hurt
(all of it...)
I see the things
You never put into words
And I wish
Just once
You'd stop saying you're fine
And tell me the truth
(please...)
[Outro]
yeah...
You never fool me
Not really
'Cause I've always known
