[Verse 1]
I keep a blue cup by the sink
And lose whole hours forgetting to drink
You ask me how I’ve been lately
I make a face and say, “Amazing”
There’s a receipt under my bed
From a corner store I never left
I tell you jokes with perfect timing
So nobody asks what’s underneath them
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve gotten good at changing lanes
Before the question says my name
[Chorus]
I’m fine, I’m fine, I say it like a punchline
Smile wide, look alive, keep the room from going quiet
If I say it one more time, maybe I’ll believe it tonight
I’m fine, I’m fine—just don’t look too close behind the eyes
[Verse 2]
The laundry chair has learned my shape
Three clean shirts and a week too late
My phone lights up, I turn it over
I want somebody, not a conversation
I laugh so hard my throat gets sore
Then sit alone beside the door
The whole apartment holds its breath
While I rehearse what I’ll say next
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve gotten good at wearing gray
And calling it an ordinary day
[Chorus]
I’m fine, I’m fine, I say it like a punchline
Smile wide, look alive, keep the room from going quiet
If I say it one more time, maybe I’ll believe it tonight
I’m fine, I’m fine—just don’t look too close behind the eyes
[Bridge]
If you stay, don’t fix me
Just sit here in the kitchen
Let the silence be honest
Let me stop performing for a minute
[Final Chorus]
I’m fine, I’m fine, the words are getting paper-thin
Smile wide, look alive, but I don’t know where I’ve been
If I say it one more time, will you hear the part I hide?
I’m fine, I’m fine—could you stay until I’m not tonight?
[Outro]
The blue cup waits beside the sink
I take one sip and try to think
You ask me how I’ve been lately
I say, “Not great”—and you stay with me
