How Are You?

Lyrics by Karianne Gabaldon

(Verse 1)

To me it is the only thing,

That keeps me from going insane,

Just listen when I tell you that I’m fine.

My depression is out of source,

And I just want to end this world,

But you always how to keep me in line.

(Chorus)

Dear mother,

I have lost the fight.

Dear mother,

I can’t sleep at night.

I’m breaking down before you,

But how are you?

How are you,

How are you,

How are you,

How are you.

(Verse 2)

What if there’s a way I could crack,

The code that makes the world go mad,

Would you still claim to know me when I’d slander?

I want there to be something more,

Than when you went and slammed the door,

Your alcoholic ways turned it to candor.

(Chorus 2)

A sickly humiliated girl,

A harmony to appease the world,

I’m dying ever slowly,

But how are you?

How are you,

How are you,

How are you,

How are you.

(Bridge)

Your selfishness, what about me?

What about the things we used to be?

You really don’t think time has abused you?

I wish you could see through the past,

See all the happiness we had,

I’m trash now, you have scrummed through and through.

(Chorus 3)

One more sad song before I go,

One more thing you should probably know,

I’m hurt, I’ve always wanted to love,

But how are you?

I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again,

I can’t believe I’m leaving a friend,

My lungs have given out for good,

But how are you?

How are you,

How are you,

How are you,

How are you.

How are you,

How are you,

How are you,

How are you.
