Lyrics

Try to wing it, pretend you're okay with it.

Attempting to handle the situation without showing distress.

You have nothing to do with it, do you?

Questioning involvement or connection with the difficulty.


Don't know if it's always been this hard for you

Uncertain if the challenges have always been as difficult for the person.

Breaking, crushing you.

Describing the intense emotional impact, possibly heartbreak.


So you've left it up to me.

The responsibility or decision is now delegated to the speaker.

The cancer still gives and we still take.

Despite difficulties (cancer), there is a continuous exchange or interaction.


Don't tell me this, pretend you're okay with it.

Discouraging honesty, encouraging pretending to be fine.

Be more sympathetic towards my sickness.

Requesting more empathy for the speaker's emotional struggles.


Don't know if it's always been this hard for you

Uncertain if the challenges have always been as difficult for the person.

Breaking, crushing you.

Describing the intense emotional impact, possibly heartbreak.

I'm on your side.

Expressing support for the person going through difficulties.


Don't know if it's always been this hard for you

Uncertain if the challenges have always been as difficult for the person.

Breaking, crushing you.

Describing the intense emotional impact, possibly heartbreak.

I'm on your side.

Reiterating support for the person going through difficulties.


How can you breathe and stand calmly?

Questioning how someone can remain composed in the face of difficulty.
