I can get up early I can be on time I can read the paper And seem completely fine
I'll be smiling when you see me Yea I'll do the best I can Just don't ask me how I am
I put on my raincoat So I can't feel the rain I cut my heart off of my sleeve So I can't feel the pain
You can ask about my day And I'll tell you about my plans Just don't ask me how I am
Cause I'm lonely, and I'm weary And I'm all torn up inside There are moments, I feel hopeless Like I'm just biding my time And there's nothing I could tell you To help you understand So just don't ask me how I am
I'm almost sleeping through the night And my routine hasn't changed Company can come around And I can entertain
We can go out on the town I'll drink and laugh and dance Just don't ask me how I am
We can talk about the weather You can ask about my job But don't ask me for directions I'm completely lost
Cause I'm lonely, and I'm weary And I'm all torn up inside There are moments, I feel hopeless Like I'm just biding my time And there's nothing I could tell you To help you understand So just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am
