Pain And Suffering

[Bry89]

Your trauma, your tears
I will hear you
Your anguish, your pain
I will comfort you

Your trauma, your scars
Now I can't hear you
Your anguish, your pain
Now I can't release you
You're on your own

The evidence of pain
It's not enough
The long story of pain and anguish
It's not enough
You're on your own

The title relates to the legal term, although I've only heard it several times on Judge Judy (and most times cases of it are dismissed, sadly).

I think that's because pain and suffering are subjective realities - at least the degrees and manner in which they are experienced by individuals. I'm not saying they don't exist, but unless you're really tuned into another person, you could totally miss the reality they try to relate. Sometimes it's tough to remain engaged when you don't understand. I think you captured that sentiment quite well here.
