i'll handle it

I have always handled it
People unhappy, moody, unaware
And I've handled it all and by myself

I have always handled it
lest things seem to get out of hand
I've silenced myself and smiled to pretend

I have always handled it
When people drew back, left without a glance
I've understood it all for there was never a chance

So, when it burns down to the wick and they quit
I'll bite my lip, try to forget,
fade a bit, and I'll handle it.
