the number on a screen says i'm fine
       i wish it was true
the number on a screen says i'm smart
       i wish that was true too

nope the truth is
       i'm real good at bullshitting a paper
the truth is
       i have no idea what's going on

but apparently i'm fine
       i guess i'll just keep pretending
you want to know the secret?
       i don't have one honey

maybe it's because practice makes perfect
       i've been doing this for quite a while
maybe it's because you can't spot the difference
       i promise it's a solid possibility

but anyways

the number on the screen says i'm fine, great even
       i wish it was true
the number says i'm smart, maybe even a genius
       i really wish that one was true

so if you could
look a little closer next time
