My friends say
They're proud of me
For taking our break up
So casually
But they don't see
What lies beneath my smile

It appears
That I'm okay
That I moved on
When you walked away
But the truth is
Since you said goodbye

[Chorus]
I'm invisibly shaken
And quietly breakin'
Desperately takin' one breath at a time
Beneath this composure
I know it's over
Baby, I'm dying 'cause you can't be mine
But I will never show the toll it's taken
'Cause I'm invisibly shaken

If it looks
Like I don't care
Like it's not killing me
Seeing you here
And hearing you say
You want to try us again

Believe me, it ain't easy
Being this cool
But too many times, girl
I've been your fool
And I know I'd just
End up here again

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm dying 'cause you can't be mine
But I will never show it's taken
'Cause I'm invisibly shaken
