I Am Not Well Lyrics

Well how are you, you look great today

They say. Ok. Well you look great too

I guess. It's hard to say

From so far away. But what can you do

Word on the street's a poisoned treat

To haunt my wounded soul

I must repeat my daily feat

Of getting through it all

But I'm a mess of deep regret and fear

You'll catch it if you get too near

But for all the things I try to soothe

I'll tell the truth

I am not well - I have fallen down

Waiting for the

Better times to come around

I am not well - I am down a hole

Can't make me sound

Can't make me whole

I didn't choose to be this way

I want to heal but I don't know how

Is there room in your life for me

Cause there's space in mine right now

The night is dark, my light is dim

Fear is real and hard to dismiss

I'm sorry for my mirthless grin

Life's too short to feel like this

So listen to my truthless rhyme

As I fret and try to pass the time

But for all the things I try to soothe

I'll tell the truth

Things should be like this

God I miss the simple treat

Of walking on and

Passing friends along the street

Things should be like this

The warm embrace of kindred hearts

Instead of stumbling on

Alone by fits and starts

If things could be like this

Well how are you, you look tired today

They say. Ok. Well thanks for that

I guess. It's hard to stay

Bright and shiny all day, with where everything's at
