There's a girl I know She'll greet you with a smile She will always say hello But I've known her for a while Ask if she's ok she'll say Yes I'm doing fine But she's not at work today And there were other warning signs A scratch beneath the surface Everything's not okay A scratch beneath the surface Can I talk to you today A scratch beneath the surface A scratch beneath the surface Everything's not okay Does it make you sad Looking at the things you'll never have Thinking about the dreams you'll never see Those hopes will never be Are you living for tomorrow Or having dreams of yesterday At odds with all around you Or would you rather just not say A scratch beneath the surface Everything's not okay A scratch beneath the surface Can I talk to you today A scratch beneath the surface (Everything's not okay) A scratch beneath the surface (Everything's not okay) There's help there when you need it On the darkest of your days On the brink of no tomorrow Hope you see it through today A scratch beneath the surface Everything's not okay A scratch beneath the surface Can I talk to you today A scratch beneath the surface Everything's not okay A scratch beneath the surface Can I talk to you today (Everything's not okay) (Everything's not okay)
