I’M FINE
[Verse 1]
Time is flying I'd be lying if I said it’s fine
But when I turn the pages I've been aging like I'm wine
Off to the races, different places shaping my design
They said I need to stop I dropped the baggage and blew through the signs
Afraid that I’m not living I might work myself to death
But if I stop the work the reaper's hands around my neck
Tried to take a long shot, I ain't stupid it's a stretch
Never tried to draw me now everybody lookin' sketch
Yeah, well I guess that's how it goes
I walk a road full of ghosts and broken dreams and the bones
Keep high, I'll land as I go
It's getting thicker and cold
Shit, I just hope that I can find the way home

[Chorus]
I wish that I could just rewind
Let it go and turn back time
And leave all of the stress behind
I just wanna run away don’t wanna go another day where I’m lying to myself
“I'm fine”
I’m telling myself all the time
Ignoring all the warning signs
I could feel it in my chest
Now I'm choking on my breath
I'll keep lying to myself
“I'm fine”
[Verse 2]
My family across the country, I
Got a girl but where I’m at it's 6 and where she at it's 9
Distance pushed the love that's been existent to a distance time
I tried to get a jump and pump, ballistics been resistant
Fine, I'll fight another year while I'm wiping all these tears
In a place where I don't think I'll survive another here
I've Been blacking out on weekends hoping I can smother fear
Under the weather, funny how it's just an endless here

[Chorus]
I wish that I could just rewind
Let it go and turn back time
And leave all of the stress behind
I just wanna run away don't wanna go another day where I'm lying to myself
“I'm fine”
I'm telling myself all the time
Ignoring all the warning signs
I could feel it in my chest
Now I'm choking on my breath
I'll keep lying to myself
“I'm fine”

[Bridge]
Please never let me fade away
I may be far but don't you ever stay away
I promise that I'll never let our love decay
Just promise me I won't disintegrate!
[Chorus]
(Rewind)
Let it go and turn back time
And leave all of the stress behind
I just wanna run away don't wanna go another day where I'm lying to myself
“I'm fine”
I'm telling myself all the time
Ignoring all the warning signs
I could feel it in my chest
Now I'm choking on my breath
I'll keep lying to myself
“I'm fine”
