Well I can't find my best friend
to help me through this night
I Can't find my best frined
because she's somewhere out of sight
I miss her, I miss her
and let there be no doubt
when I can't find my best friend
the world turns inside out
I can't find my best friend
and the world's turned inside out
I can't find my best friend
and my laugh just not the same
I knew I'd feel close to her
before I ever knew her name
I feel lost, a little lost
and the world keeps spinning around
but I can't find my best friend
and the world spins upside down
I can't find my best friend
and the world's spinning upside down
Oh dark night.
I want you to see
that I've actually been
doing all right
I been doing all right
It's just that the world feels cold to me
I can't find my best friend
to help me in this hour
now I've learned how to love
but it's demanding all my power
it's hard, it's hard
for me to know the end
I suppose I'll find my way
but I can't find my best friend
I suppose I'll find my way
but I can't find my best friend.
