These Little Lies

I’m fine I say As my breathing speeds up I don’t care I repeat As the tears start to fall These words I say These little lies Won’t calm the rain brewing in my eyes It’s okay I whisper In the dead of night Just calm down I say while my mind weeps These words I say These little lies Won't work on me despite the tries My mind won’t listen When I say I’m fine That’s because my mind won’t lie My brain won’t agree That I’m okay That’s because my brain remembers the day So I’ll say I'm fine I’ll lie I’m okay Because I know these little lies Are here to stay
