歌詞

You came in late with an easy sorry

I smiled like time had not been moved

I had a question on my tongue

But changed it into something smooth

You looked relieved when I went quiet

Like kindness made the evening clean

I watched my own hurt leave the table

Before it ever got to speak

I had a whole truth in my mouth

I softened every sharper end

I made the room safe for your breathing

Then lost the air I had to spend

I swallowed the hurt

Put a smile on the end

I made it sound small

I said it was fine again

I laughed like it passed

Let the silence pretend

You got to feel better

I said it was fine again

It’s fine it’s fine

Don’t worry never mind

It’s fine it’s fine

I’m only bleeding quiet

You forgot the thing I told you

I made a joke and let it slide

I moved my wanting off the sofa

So your comfort fit inside

I made my feelings easy to carry

Light enough to set them down

You called me good at understanding

I learned to disappear without sound

I almost said that it had hurt me

I almost asked you not to go

But I could feel the weather turning

So I became the softer road

I swallowed the hurt

Put a smile on the end

I made it sound small

I said it was fine again

I laughed like it passed

Let the silence pretend

You got to feel better

I said it was fine again

Phone face down in the kitchen light

I finally let my shoulders fall

The room is calm because I made it

But I am not calm at all

I keep forgiving like a reflex

I keep the peace and lose the war

Every time I say I’m fine

I am less myself than before

I swallowed the hurt

Put a smile on the end

I made it sound small

I said it was fine again

I laughed like it passed

But I know what I meant

I was not okay

I said it was fine again

It’s fine it’s fine

The lie comes easy now

It’s fine it’s fine

But I can feel it wearing out
