"I am okay"
"I am fine"
One more nickel
to my growing pile of lies
Honesty is overrated
I have realized
It's difficult to explain the truth
so I hide
And you won't have to lie to me
by faking your sympathy
I save you from the cries
and I save our time.
Let's start again (as I smile)
"I am okay"
"I am fine"
My poker face, do not lie.
