from the outside nothing looks out of place
i´ve got a superhero costume and a happy face
and if you ask you know what i´ll say
¡°everything is fine, it´s great, i´m okay¡±

i´ll throw a party for my fair-weather friends
just don´t look now there´s a big, black cloud overhead
and if you ask you know what i´ll say
¡°everything is fine, it´s great, i´m okay¡±

i don´t want to bring you down
it´s better you don´t come around at all
no i don´t want to bring you down
it´s better you don´t come around

i´ll be taking comfort in strangers
because the little lies we tell aren´t really dangerous
you say ¡°how ya doin¡± and i´m on trial
´cause i´ve been caught red-handed in a stolen smile

i could be rude, i could be vague
i could be quiet
or look you right in the face
as i lie, i say, ¡°everything is fine, it´s great, i´m okay¡±

i don´t want to bring you down
it´s better you don´t come around at all
no i don´t want to bring you down
it´s better you don´t come around

i don´t want to bring you down
it´s better you don´t come around at all
no i don´t want to bring you down
it´s better you don´t come around
