Bring You Down Lyrics

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 fine, it's great, I'm okay" 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 "Everything is fine, it's great, I'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 doing", and I'm on trial Because 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, "Everything is fine, it's great, I'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
