I said I am fine,
I’m just trying to define,
Who I am

I have bite marks on my skin and,
I don’t know why I don’t feel like you,
Try as I might to fit into your style,
Broken hearts still make me smile,
No matter how hard my eyes try,
They just can’t seem to fake all of my lies

Yes, I promise I am fine,
I’ll say it one more time,
I am fine

I’m seeing clearly for the first time and,
I don’t like the world around me,
Or me around this world it’s,
Broken and it can’t be fixed,
No matter how I try,
I just can’t clear the sky

And now I don’t know what you’ve seen,
And I don’t know what you’ve heard,
But I see where you have been,
Though my vision was always blurred,
And I’ve heard every word,
Though most of it slurred,
But I want to know what you mean,
When you referred to me,
As a baby bird

I said I am fine,
I’m just trying to define,
Who I am,
Yes, I promise I am fine,
I’ll say it one more time,
I am fine

But before you go now,
Mother, please stop the crying,
Father, please I’m dying here,
I’m trying not to disappear,
But let me just make things clear,
I am fine
