Your hand trembled a little as you lifted your drink
You look like you haven't slept in days
You try to smile like there's nothing wrong
But the mask doesn't fit your face
You greet me and when I ask how you are
You lie to me with the things that you say
Sure, everything's fine if you say so
Cigarette smoke rises in clouds
Helping to make your eyes red
You've been drinking all day trying to drown
To drown out the storms in your head
The things that were done, the things that were wrong
The things that should never have been said
But no, it's all right if you say so
You make small talk about little things
But you're crying inside I can tell
Your thoughts really aren't here in this room
You suffer the tortures of Hell
But you do it quietly trying to hide the pain
And tell me it's all very well
Of course it is if you say so
But what can I do when you won't let me in
When you decline my offers of help
It's nothing, you say, nothing at all
You'll easily deal with it yourself
It tears me up inside to see you this way
And you assure me all is well
But it's not just because you say so
