It is much more...

Complicated. And still you believe me
When I say I'm okay.

Have you ever been told
How easy it is
For an honest person to pass
On a lie?

I know you aren't dense.

I haven't been "OK"
In my world I feel used and abused--
My trust broken by everyone.
I can't even tell you about a feeling
That makes me want to curl up in a dark room
And cry...

So boy, don't believe it when I say
I'll be fine.
