We don't think you ought to do that.
               "Tell me what to do!"
We don't think you should feel like that.
               "Tell me what to feel!"
You should know that there's always a way forward.
               "Show me where to go!"
You should be stronger than that.
               "Show me how."

We've decided you can cope if you try.
               "You don't know what it's like."
We've decided we aren't going to let you die.
               "Then show me how to live!"
We've decided you can get on with your life.
               "There's nothing left."
We've decided you should be over it now.
               "But it hasn't ended."

Take my advice, "Chin up and all of that."
               "But I have no mouth."
Take my advice, "Time will heal all hurts."
               "But time just makes it worse."
