Just Don’t Ask Me How I Am

I can get up early
I can be on time
I can read the paper and seem completely fine
I'll be smiling when you see me
Yeah, I'll do the best I can
Just don't ask me how I am

I put on my raincoat
So I can't feel the rain
I cut my heart off of my sleeve
So I can't feel the pain

You can ask about my day
And I'll tell you about my plans
Just don't ask me how I am

Cause I'm lonely and I'm weary
And I'm all torn up inside
There are moments I feel hopeless
Like I'm just biding my time

And there's nothing I could tell you
To help you understand
So just don't ask me how I am
I'm almost sleeping through the night
And my routinе hasn't changed

Company can come around
And I can entеrtain
We can go out on the town
I'll drink and laugh and dance
Just don't ask me how I am

We can talk about the weather
You an ask about my job
But don't ask me for directions
I'm completely lost
Cause I'm lonely and I'm weary
And I'm all torn up inside

There are moments
I feel hopeless
Like I'm just biding my time
And there's nothing I could tell you
To help you understand
So just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
