How Strong Are You Now?
by Arianna WoodsSeven minutes since we kissed goodbye
Seven minutes since you smiled at me
Seven minutes since you left my car
Seven minutes, seven minutes too far
Twenty minutes 'til they said "he's gone"
The time it takes to make that one phone call
Twenty minutes in an ambulance
Is twenty minutes, twenty minutes too long
Three days for me to fall apart
Waking up believing the phone ringing was you
Three days and twenty minutes to cry when it was
Somebody else
[Nothing's supposed to happen
When our backs are turned
But the strong are heartless
And the weak get burned]
Seven minutes and the world can change
Seven minutes, is seven minutes
