[Verse 1]
He said, “Long week”
But it’d been a long year
Holding it together
With a grin and a beer
Sat on my tailgate
Staring at his shoes
Said, “All good, man”
But his eyes said, “Ain’t the truth”
[Pre-Chorus]
We were raised to tape it up
Shake it off and walk it back inside
But that weight don’t disappear
It just digs in deeper when we hide
[Chorus]
So don’t just say, “I’m fine”
When you’re breaking on the inside
You ain’t weak for needing
A shoulder and some time
We’re all just men with heavy hearts
Trying to carry our own sky
So brother, take my hand
We can stand in the same storm, same night
Around here, “I’m fine” don’t have to be a lie
[Verse 2]
He said, “Man, I feel crazy
’Cause it don’t look bad on paper”
Good job, good kids
Still he’d vanish in the vapor
I said, “I get those thoughts too
They don’t make you less of a man”
Sometimes the bravest thing Is just saying, “I need a hand”
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t have to tough it out
Till the wheels fall off, sparks fly
We can call each other up
Before the bottle runs dry
[Chorus]
So don’t just say, “I’m fine”
When you’re breaking on the inside
You ain’t weak for needing
A shoulder and some time
We’re all just men with heavy hearts
Trying to carry our own sky
So brother, take my hand
We can stand in the same storm, same night
Around here, “I’m fine” don’t have to be a lie
[Bridge]
Yeah, it takes guts to tell the truth
To say, “I’m scared this might be it”
But I’d rather hear you shaking
Than be talking to regret
We’re not meant to fight these shadows
As a one-man battle line
So lean on me, I’ll lean on you
Till the morning hits the pines (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
So don’t just say, “I’m fine”
When you’re breaking on the inside
You ain’t weak for needing
A shoulder and some time
We’re all just men with heavy hearts
Trying to carry our own sky
So brothers, raise your hands
We can stand in the same storm, same night
’Cause out here, “I’m not fine”
Is how we start to be all right
Yeah, together, “I’m not fine”
Is how we start to be all right
