I've sat idly and watched as my world came crashing down. The weight of it all stealing the breath from my lungs. I've gotten up like nothing was wrong. Sat and watched while everyone carried on, like I haven't just lost my entire world. But they don't know, they can never know. So I pick up broken pieces, severed limbs, empty lungs, and am forced to carry on. Smile on my face, as if I hadn't lost my world. Forced to say goodbye. Forced to walk away. Forced to give up my world, the only thing that mattered. Forced to walk away like I'm completely unaffected. As the world falls down.

As the world falls down
I've sat idly and watched as my world came crashing down. The weight of it all stealing the breath from my lungs. I've gotten up like nothing was wrong. Sat and watched while everyone carried on, like I haven't just lost my entire world. But they don't know, they can never know. So I pick up broken pieces, severed limbs, empty lungs, and am forced to carry on. Smile on my face, as if I hadn't lost my world. Forced to say goodbye. Forced to walk away. Forced to give up my world, the only thing that mattered. Forced to walk away like I'm completely unaffected. As the world falls down.
