| 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
|
| (Chorus)
|
| 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
|
| (Chorus)
|
| 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. |
