So I say I'm fine

Or maybe help me dig a hole, so I can bury 'em

Well, I'm not holding my breath
G Em
But I'm breathing in and out
F
As deep as I can. No, I don't mean to be a burden,
Am
I'm just talking in these circles
G Em
It's the only thing that's working

Hope these walls will save their judgments

It doesn't mean I'm in the clear

Then one more day

Then one more day
