I'm Not Doing As Well As You Think

by Paige   Nov 26, 2004



It's been two days now.
I've planned the funeral
And buried that special person.
You tell me you are amazed at how well I'm doing.

I really am not doing well.
I'm just numb and in a fog
That allows me to do whatever needs to be done.
I'm not doing as well as you think.

It's been six months now.
I've gotten a new job
And I go out with friends
You tell me you are amazed at how well I'm doing.

I really am not doing well.
I keep busy and I've learned to hide my feelings from you
Because when I tell you I miss that special person
You tell me it's time to move on and let go

So I pretend, for you, that I have.
I'm not doing as well as you think.

It's been a year now.
And when you ask how I am
I know you don't really want the truth
So I say I'm fine

And you believe me
And tell me you are amazed at how well I'm doing.

I really am not doing well.
I spend my days at work
And my nights alone.
The phone seldom rings anymore

And I am lonelier and more alone
than you want to know
I cry more now than I did at first.
I'm not doing as well as you think.
