A cry in the stillness
A whimper while they fall They don't know if they can get through it all
The world presses in
Suffocating and strong
I think they knew it all along
They knew it would be hard
They knew they would fail
But if they knew then why'd they try
Was it just to get some guy?
Maybe it was to please
To please a parent
To please a friend
Maybe it wasn't just about them
Maybe there lost
But if so, who cares?
It would be a lot easier if you were there
Maybe give them a hand
A rope
Or a friend
Maybe give them something more than just a sly grin
People say a smile can help
They say it can lift and it can save
But wouldn't it be easier if you just granted them aid?
