lyrics

I've been tucked away
for the longest time
tried to find my peace
but I lost my mind

and the phone keeps ringing
but I don't pick up
try to wear that smile
but you call my bluff

everybody wants to know

how am I doing?
I'm doing better
I was in ruins
I got it together

and now right this second
I feel okay
the smallest victories
I celebrate

I go from sane to crazy
day to night
not sure I have the stomach
for a long life

everybody wants to know

how am I doing?
I'm doing better
I was in ruins
I got it together

see my emotions
rise and fall
keep moving forward
even when I crawl
I have to crawl

you know, progress is very slow
sometimes it don't even show
but if you really want to know

how am I doing?
I'm doing better
I was in ruins
I got it together
