Definition of Pain

Tell me what is pain
Is it my heart's strain
From getting up each day
Just to tell myself it'll be okay

Is it when the doctor calls
After to many bad falls
You know he won't be alright
But you still tell him to fight

Is it at the building's ledge
After they've pushed you off the edge
But you keep it all in your head
Just to cry about it in your bed

Is it when they think you don't care
And she starts to pull out her hair
When she throws a tantrum at you
But you didn't know what to do

Is it a scar that won't fade
A dark man lurking in the shade
That they haven't caught yet
And all you can do is fret

Is it when he leaves you alone
And he won't pick up his phone
Then you drink to let the man go
But your heart loved him so

Is it in a bloody field
Knowing your life's gonna yield
When she is waiting at the door
But you won't see her face once more

So think about what I have said
When you only have stale bread
Or when your headphones break
Because your road isn't the hardest to take
