[Verse 1]
First bell, cheap pen,
half a page, half awake
Bus ride, stale air,
I stare at my shoes and shake
In class I nod my head,
like I know what they mean
But my chest feels heavy,
like a bag full of steam
Phone face, blue glass,
two texts I won't reply
Mom asks, "You good?"
I say, "Yeah, I'm fine"
[Pre-Chorus]
Morning wears me thin
No one sees the cracks
I keep my smile on
Then I put it back
By noon, by noon
I'm already split in two
I say, "I'm okay"
But I don't mean it to you
[Chorus]
Everything's fine, fine
I say it all the time
Everything's fine, fine
While I fall behind
Morning to night, I hide
(Everything's fine)
Morning to night, I lie
(Everything's fine)
[Verse 2]
Lunch tray, cold rice,
friends laugh, mouths full
I laugh a little late,
like I'm playing my role
Teacher calls my name,
I wake up from the haze
Same page, same stain,
same long empty days
At home, shoes by the door,
head down, lights low
I wash my face twice,
still nobody knows
I type, "I'm alive,"
then delete the line
If I tell the truth,
I might break this time
[Pre-Chorus]
Morning wears me thin
No one sees the cracks
I keep my smile on
Then I put it back
By noon, by noon
I'm already split in two
I say, "I'm okay"
But I don't mean it to you
[Chorus]
Everything's fine, fine
I say it all the time
Everything's fine, fine
While I fall behind
Morning to night, I hide
(Everything's fine)
Morning to night, I lie
(Everything's fine)
[Bridge]
One more day, one more grade
One more mask to wear
I want out, I want light
I want someone there
If I say it out loud
Will the room stay still?
Will the truth sound softer
Than the weight I feel?
[Final Chorus]
Everything's fine, fine
I say it all the time
Everything's fine, fine
While I fall behind
Morning to night, I hide
(Everything's fine)
Morning to night, I lie
(Everything's fine)
Everything's fine, fine
But I need help tonight
Everything's fine, fine
I can't keep this lie
