From the recording Musical Thought Journey

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do I really have to answer
When you ask if I’m okay
I’m trying to find the courage
To face another day
Some days my thoughts just wander
But I’m learning how to heal
I keep it all inside
But now I’m ready to feel

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear what you’re saying
I know you care
I’m finding my own way
To get there

[Chorus]
I know you mean the best
I’m starting to see it too
I tell myself, "I'll pass this test"
Even when I’m feeling blue
I say I’m fine, I’m doing okay
I that someday, this will be true

[Verse 2]
This loss is hard to talk about
I’ll explain when I’m ready
Some days I need the quiet
I'm trying to hold steady
It’s not that I don’t care
I just need a little space
But I’m growing each day
With what I can’t replace

[Bridge]
I’m not broken
Just finding my own voice
I just need time
To make the right choice
If I pull away, please understand
I’m doing the best I can

[Chorus]
I know you mean the best
And I’m grateful for you trying
I say I’m fine, I’m doing okay
but I feel like I'm lying.

[Outro]
If I seem distant, understand
I'm rebuilding every part
I’m holding on, I’m moving forward
Protecting my heart
