Arrow in My Back | Hino Black

I can get up out of my bed…
I can wash my hair and look good..
I can start my day just fine…
I can drink my coffee..
And do my work..
But what can I do…
When I can’t pretend…
When I can’t force a smile..
Like nothing happened..
What can I do..
When my tears keep falling undeniably…
When my heart is breaking into pieces..
What can I do…
When every time I try to get up on my feet..
Life keeps knocking me down..
What can I do…
When this pain is draining me…
When I try my best..
And my best some how is not enough..
What can I do…
When every time I try to be fine..
But the truth is I’m just not………
Fine!…
I’m living my life….like there’s an arrow piercing through my back…
And keeps pulling me under…
And I just can’t move on.
