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 fineit's greatI'm okay”



I'll throw a party for my fair-weather friends

Just don't look now there's a bigblack cloud overhead

And if you ask you know what I'll say

“everything is fineit's greatI'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 rudeI could be vague

I could be quiet

Or look you right in the face

As I lieI say“everything is fineit's greatI'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
