in a little while

If you can't bear to see me frown,
Don't worry, I'll put on a smile
And pretend I'm not down
And I'll be okay in a little while.

If you hate to see me breaking
I'll feign building me up tile by tile.
Right now it's only faking
But I'll be okay in a little while.

If you feel arguing isn't worth
I'll just swallow down the bile.
I'm not down, just down-to-earth
But I'll be okay in a little while.

If you request a change of attitude
I know it's only gnawing a file.
Won't do, but I'll try to delude
That I'll be okay in a little while.
