I How Are You

.😟

[image/video deleted]

Hi, How are you?

People ask, how are you
As they rush on by
I never bother answering
And they never ask me why

I think that they don't even know
That they don't really care
But they cringe and rush away
When I lay the truth out there.

So now I smile and lie to them
Because it's what they need
I don't want the hypocrisy
I don't need their hearts to bleed

So smile and wish me well
The next time that we're meeting
But don't ask me how I am
As an insincere, unwelcome greeting

I, for one, never ask,
Unless there's time before we part
To stop and chat and then I ask
And I listen with my heart

Down here, it's "hey! you do'n ok?"... but it's the same thing.

That's so true. When I ask someone , I wish to get a real answer so if they down I can try cheer them up, if they are happy they can share what makes them smile so beautifully, if they are worried, I can try to be an ear for them... So hun, how are you?

I never say just "fine" it makes people uncomfortable... Some have started asking "what's up?" instead.

Isn't that the saddest truth ever?

Yes. It is a sad truth. Nobody's got time, anymore.
