The pain hits me
It's sharp, it's chest pains
It's enough to bring me to my knees
Clutching my chest now
Then the pain of hitting the floor hits me
But it's like a slap to the wrist
Compared to your absence
And I want to be strong for you
I need to be strong for you
And for everyone else
Especially myself
But I can't hold myself up
And I'm not standing up straight now
So I'll just crumble instead
Let my tears fall like withering petals
And get a slap on the wrist again
