I swear I'm fine
As I smile and wave goodbye
Blissfully happy and always joyful
I seem so carefree, laughing my day away

But truthfully I'm so lost
Inside this empty shell that I have become
So blind in the darkness
Tainted and broken, alone and confused
Sinking in the sorrow of many mistakes
Uselessly I struggle to gain control

Searching for the pieces of a shattered past
Tears fall down from wounded eyes
So scarred and bitter
As they try to make sense
Of what couldn't last

I swear I'm fine
As I smile and wave hello
Blissfully happy and always joyful
I seem so carefree, laughing my day away

But truthfully I'm so safe
When I stand next to you
Your hand in mine makes me feel so alive
Blinded by the light cast by your smile
Free from the fear by your warm embrace

I need you just to stay alive
Without you I'd rather just lay down and die
So please believe me
As long as we're together
Every day will be better

I swear I'm fine
As I always do
Because it's true
As long as I'm with you
