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
â'‚¬?Everything is fine, it's great, I'm okayâ'‚¬?

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
â'‚¬?Everything is fine, it's great, I'm okayâ'‚¬?

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 â'‚¬?How ya doinâ'‚¬? 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, â'‚¬?Everything is fine, it's great, I'm okayâ'‚¬?

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
