Everything's Great

Jessea L. VaughanContemplative

Everything's fine That's what we tell ourselves When we know it's a lie, It's a beautiful day It's gonna be ok What you were taught to say To the lady on the street Who is visibly upset; It won't be like this forever It's gonna change here soon That's what you tell yourself When it's been like this For so long that Anything different is a distant memory Like the days in your childhood When you actually believed That everything was great And everything was fine.
