Oh, When people say
"I'm doing okay"
What they really mean
Is "I am going to scream"
I'm doing okay, i'm doing okay,
Doing okay, well, kinda okay
Pain inside, keep the pain inside,
Keep the Pain inside to keep the pain away
When people say
"I'm doing okay"
What they really mean
Is "where the Hell you been?
I need all the helps
I am falling apart"
But folk are taught to hide
All the pain in their hearts
I'm doing okay, i'm doing okay,
Doing okay, well, kinda okay
Pain inside, keep the pain inside,
Keep the Pain inside to keep the pain away
Don't you go and show it, I don't want to see it
Dignity, restraint is all there is to it
Hide in the darkest hole
Of your dark,dank soul
I'm doing okay, i'm doing okay,
Doing okay, well, kinda okay
Pain inside, keep the pain inside,
Keep the Pain inside to keep the pain away
Don't you go and show it, I don't want to see it
Dignity, restraint is all there is to it
Don't you go and show it, I don't want to know it
Dignity, restraint is all it's got going to it
