Stop My Pen From Crying

[Hook: Wretch 32]

I will not keep silent

But I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

But I don't really wanna end each line with

I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

Things happen so I've gotta keep writing

But I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

And I don't really wanna end each line with

I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

[Verse 1: Wretch 32]

How can I stop my pen from crying

When I put pain in the ink? I'm straining to think

I'm drained, I lay and I wish that those that lay in a ditch

Could play with their kids

I've prayed, I've sinned, I've changed, I think I'm saved within

I bleed creative ink

I breathe books and cry lines

And when my granddad died, my pen cried

And when Georgina got leukaemia

And I looked into my friend's eyes

I'm not playing, cuh God made me

Know exactly how it was for Diddy when he lost Faith

And not a lot's changed, I still don't believe in much

And my gran keeps telling me to keep in touch

And I haven't tried

Cuh since Granddad died

She ain't been feeling loved

And when she goes, I'll be bleeding floods

Lyrically leaking love all over the page, all over again

I can't stop

I'll bleed on beats till my heart stops

And I'm dead meat

But you can't X out the Wretch

Cuh I'll get beats and then cardiac arrest

Becuh death's peak and I can't be arsed to rest

How they test sleep

[Hook: Wretch 32]

Look, if things happen, I will not keep silent

But I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

Look, I don't really wanna end each line with

I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

But things happen so I've gotta keep writing

But I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

Look, I don't really wanna end each line with

I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

[Verse 2: Wretch 32]

I tried to stop my pen from crying

And then Janine died

When the car that she was in collided

And she drove to a better place

And I looked in her coffin

So no, I won't ever forget her face

And no, I don't ever forget a face

So I still see Charlene's

Glasses when I can't sleep, it can't be

Half six and I can't dream

I squint my eyes like I think I'm blind

I jump up, then I cry sixteen lines

Can this be right?

Has someone altered my sight

Or am I just haunted for life?

It's unfortunate, alie

And when my mum's mum passed away

I didn't wanna war with my son's mum's arse again

Cuh life's too short to pass the blame

And it's my fault why we don't start again

But it's like you're too quick to use Kyrayn

And he's part of Jermaine

Look, sometimes you should stop and think

Cuh I've been stressed

Since I found out my friend's mum

Just might not have that long to live

So I told him what he told me

Hold your head, be strong and wish

If not for you, fam

Then at least do it for your kids

[Bridge: Wretch 32 & (Darren B)]

Listen, look, when I write

I shed tears through the pen, they say I cry (they say I'm crying, yeah)

Look, it's like

I'm shedding tears through the pen when I write

Listen, look, when I write

I shed tears through the pen, they say I cry (they say that I'm crying)

Look, it's like

I'm shedding tears through the pen when I write

Listen, when I'm writing

I'm shedding tears through the pen, they say I'm crying (they say I'm crying, yeah)

Look, it's like

I'm shedding tears through the pen when I write

[Hook: Wretch 32]

Look, if things happen, I will not keep silent

But I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

Look, I don't really wanna end each line with

I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

But things happen so I've gotta keep writing

But I just really wanna stop my pen from crying

Look, I don't really wanna end each line with

I just really wanna stop my pen from crying
