Lyric

Two cold chords

And I’m already split

I smile at the door

Like it’s nothing

You say, “You okay?”

I say, “I’m fine”

That little lie

Fits in my mouth

But I keep my eyes down

When you turn away

I want the next question

I want you to stay

I want you to notice

The edge in my voice

I want one more chance

To make noise

Ask me twice

I’ll tell the truth

Ask me twice

I might break through

I say “I’m fine”

But I don’t mean that

Ask me twice

And ask me back

I fold my hands

Like I’m holding still

The room goes quiet

And I can’t fill it

Your phone lights up

On the table by the sink

I watch your face

And I overthink

If you let it go

I’ll let it go too

I’ll wear my calm

Like I always do

But there’s a small, loud part

Under my skin

That only wakes up

When you look again

Ask me twice

I’ll tell the truth

Ask me twice

I might break through

I say “I’m fine”

But I don’t mean that

Ask me twice

And ask me back

I don’t need saving

I need your hands

To hold the space

Where my silence stands

One more question

One more try

I’m not okay

And that’s why

Ask me twice

I’ll tell the truth

Ask me twice

I might break through

I say “I’m fine”

But I don’t mean that

Ask me twice

And ask me back
