How long do I lay here?
When is it ok to stand?
Could someone please show me the rules?
I don't know them
I only know I can't take one more moment in this place
How long do I cry here?
When is it ok to smile again?
Could someone please show me the rules?
I don't now them
I only know the salty tears have burned lines in my skin.

It's OK to stop now. The old rules no longer apply. You have my permission to move on and follow new rules that say it's OK for you to be happy. You deserve to be happy.
