We tell them we’re fine But it’s not like they’d listen anyway, right? Save your words They won’t be heard And the silence is what you really prefer We tell them we’re fine They won’t know the difference Our emotionless face won’t show it Our broken hearts won’t bestow it Why try to explain When the only feeling we know is pain We tell them we’re fine Because we just want to be left alone We don’t want them to listen We can solve it ourselves Take another hit, make another slit It’ll be alright We tell them we’re f*cked up Because we don’t want to be alone We want them to listen We can’t solve it ourselves Put the drugs away, put the razor down It’ll be alright...

We Tell Them We're Fine
We tell them we’re fine But it’s not like they’d listen anyway, right? Save your words They won’t be heard And the silence is what you really prefer We tell them we’re fine They won’t know the difference Our emotionless face won’t show it Our broken hearts won’t bestow it Why try to explain When the only feeling we know is pain We tell them we’re fine Because we just want to be left alone We don’t want them to listen We can solve it ourselves Take another hit, make another slit It’ll be alright We tell them we’re f*cked up Because we don’t want to be alone We want them to listen We can’t solve it ourselves Put the drugs away, put the razor down It’ll be alright...
Never be afraid to tell someone how you're really feeling. We all need that person to talk to sometimes, even if it seems so pointless...
