Stay by my side

“I’m doin’ fine” by 4Me2BeFree
🔻 Song Insight
“I’m doin’ fine” is a confessional disguised as a mantra—a late-night truth wrapped in soft denial. With its bittersweet acoustic-folk instrumentation and a voice that drifts between raw and reflective, the song walks a tightrope between vulnerability and performance. The lyrics paint the portrait of someone who says they’re okay—again and again—until the words lose meaning, until all that’s left is the echo of unresolved pain.

Whether you've whispered “I’m fine” to avoid a breakdown or masked your silence with a smile, this track understands that strange space between appearing okay and feeling anything but. It doesn’t force catharsis—it simply lets you sit in it.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah... oh-oh
I don’t wanna cry no more, yeah
But these tears keep fallin’ on the floor, yeah

[Chorus]
I cry, I cry, I cry all night
Tryna numb the pain but it won’t subside
I lie, I lie, say I’m doin’ fine
But deep down, I’m barely alive

[Verse 1]
Heartbreak hotel, I check in again
Room full of memories, drownin' in sin
Took all my love, left me empty within
Now I chase highs just to balance the spins

I been lost in my thoughts, I been trapped in my mind
Demons talkin’ to me, sayin’ "boy, you outta time"
Pop another pill just to feel a little light
But the dark still lingers, I can’t say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me that you’d stay, but you walked away
Now I’m in the deep end, drownin’ in the pain
Tears in my cup, mix it with the rain
I can’t feel my heart, yeah, it’s not the same

[Chorus]
I cry, I cry, I cry all night
Tryna numb the pain but it won’t subside
I lie, I lie, say I’m doin’ fine
But deep down, I’m barely alive

[Verse 2] (fast rap section)
Shadows in my room and they talk back (yeah)
Sayin’ that I’ll never get my heart back (yeah)
I been runnin’ from myself, where the love at?
Tried to fill the void but it’s all black

Late night thoughts got me grippin’ on a fifth
Every single memory is cuttin’ like a slit
She said she love me but she lyin’ through her lips
Now I’m fallin’ even deeper in abyss, uh

[Bridge]
Lost soul driftin’, I been tryna stay afloat
Fake smiles on me, but they never even know
I been cryin’ out loud, but my tears don’t show
If I fade away, will they even know?

[Chorus]
I cry, I cry, I cry all night
Tryna numb the pain but it won’t subside
I lie, I lie, say I’m doin’ fine
But deep down, I’m barely alive

[Outro]
I don’t wanna cry no more, yeah
But these tears keep fallin’ on the floor, yeah

🔻 Personal Reflection
Not every song I write is born from a wound. Sometimes, it's just about catching a moment in the dark that we've all stumbled through—whether it was last night or ten years ago. “I’m doin’ fine” isn’t about me falling apart... it’s about what it feels like when we all pretend we’re not.

It’s the phrase people say when they want the questions to stop. It’s what you tell yourself to keep going. This track doesn’t resolve anything. It just admits that pretending is its own kind of pain—and sometimes that’s the bravest truth you can sing.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
At its core, 4Me2BeFree is about telling the truth through sound. Not every truth is loud. Some whisper. Some hurt. Some heal. With “I’m doin’ fine,” the vision was to create something that felt cinematic and raw—a song that doesn’t demand your attention but lingers with you after it’s over.

This is what we do. We take moments you’ve lived through—and give them a melody you didn’t know you needed.

천 번이고 다시 태어난 데도 
그런 사람 또 없을 테죠
슬픈 내 삶을 따뜻하게 해준 
참 고마운 사람입니다

그런 그댈 위해서 나의 심장쯤이야 
얼마든 아파도 좋은데

사랑이란 그 말은 못해도 
먼 곳에서 이렇게 바라만 보아도
모든 걸 줄 수 있어서 사랑할 수 있어서 
슬퍼도 행복합니다

나 태어나 처음 가슴 떨리는 
이런 사랑 또 없을 테죠
몰래 감추듯 오랜 기억 속에 
단 하나의 사랑입니다

그런 그댈 위해서 아픈 눈물쯤이야 
얼마든 참을 수 있는데

사랑이란 그 말은 못해도 
먼 곳에서 이렇게 바라만 보아도
모든 걸 줄 수 있어서 사랑할 수 있어서 
슬퍼도 행복합니다

아무 것도 바라지 않아도 그대 웃어준다면 
난 행복할 텐데
사랑은 주는 거니까 그저 주는 거니까 
슬퍼도 행복합니다

나 슬퍼도 행복합니다
