She’s got shadows beneath her eyes 

And I can’t help but wonder if she’s doing alright 

But she smiles and says, “I’m doing just fine.” 

”I was up too late doing work for our class 

By the time I was done midnight had already passed 

But don’t you worry cause I’ll be better next time.” 

I saw saw her pulling on her sleeves on a warm summer day 

She was looking kinda worse and I didn’t know what to say 

Yet she smiled and said, “I’m doing just fine.” 

”I got stuck in the rain and caught a nasty cold 

I’ve been shivering something fierce and it’s getting kinda old 

But don’t you worry cause I’ll feel better next time.” 

She was walking down the hallways and looking kinda sad 

I asked her what was wrong and hoped it wasn’t bad 

But she just smiled and said, “I’m doing just fine.” 

”Schools almost over and it’s time to head home 

But I don’t want to go cause I’m scared to be alone 

But don’t you worry and I’ll see you next time.” 

Next I saw her she was shown on the news 

They said, “What a tragedy, died from drug abuse.” 

So I cried and said, “You were doing just fine.” 

”I should’ve tried harder cause I saw you everyday 

But I couldn’t even tell that your smiles were fake.” 

And I can’t help but ask, “What happened to next time?”
