[Verse 1]
They just have to ask
"Are you doing okay?
Your hair's changed a lot since I saw you last"
I shrug it off
I resent the implication that
I must be in pain if something's different

[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I'm not doing great
But what's my haircut gotta do with anything?

[Chorus]
I'll talk it out
At my appointment later
'Til then, I've got
Some things to stew on
I'm not alright
Or on my best behavior
Can we just drop it?
That's not what friends are for

[Verse 2]
They never ask
"Are you really okay?
Did you sleep? Did you eat? Did you crash your bike again?"
It's best that way
But I wish we could just talk about
The kinds of pain
We inflict on ourselves
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I could use a hand
But I'm not sure how to ask for it

[Chorus]
I'll talk it out
At my appointment later
'Til then, I've got
Some things to stew on
I'm not alright
Or on my best behavior
Can we just drop it?
That's not what friends are for

[Bridge]
Could there be comfort in the healing
Or will the hurt stay a linchpin of my feelings?
We're all just looking for a safe place to spiral
Why not make a team sport out of survival?
Are you doing okay?
Are you really okay?

[Chorus]
I'll talk it out
At my appointment later (Are you doing okay?)
'Til then, I've got
So much to stew on (Are you really okay?)
I'm not alright
Or on my best behavior (Are you doing okay?)
Can we just drop it?
