Twenty four hours
In a day
Giving me 1,440 seconds
Before I fall into a trap
That I won't be able to escape
Every day the same
Repeating the cycle
Crying, feeling, screaming
But I can't ever seem to remember
The day I spent with you
If only one day sooner
For everything
Everyday wasted on me
Caring to much abut how I feel
But what about them?
Crazy amounts of energy spent on me
All to fall off the ends of the Earth
But Earth is round
And there are only twenty four hours in a day
Giving you 1,440 seconds to worry abut me
