Story Behind the Song
An unexpected answering machine message inspired me to write this song.
Lyrics
You call me out of the blue,
you leave your number and you say I should call you.
You say you miss me too
you wonder how I am and what I've been up to
Well I guess I'm doin' fine,
although it took some time... for me to say it
I guess I'm better on my own,
I'm happier when I'm alone,
so don't you call me on the phone
pretending not to know,
where I go
that I hide....
but say I'm doing fine
I still remember the days,
when we would fight until we both could get our way.
Didn't our parents say
we'd grow out of it, I'm more mature today
and yet, I'm still not sure,
both strong and insecure
no, please don't say it;
I've made a name here for myself,
playin the part of someone else,
keep my true feelings on the shelf
and only you can tell
it's not me
no I hide....
but say I'm doin fine
Break
It doesn't really matter much,
I've learned to live without your touch,
the broken promises and such,
don't even make me cry,
wonder why,
I lie....
and say I'm doin fine
Sometimes I wonder about
the life I lead and what I've learned to live without
I try to banish the doubt
it comes when I think of a less destructive route,
Oh well, at least I'm here
still fighting off the fear,
it comes when I hear
your voice so don't you call me up,
all innocent and nonchalant,
pretending not to realize,
that youre the only one
who knows
I'm not alright
but say I'm doin' fine
