Dan:

Standing in this room

Well I wonder what comes now.

I know I have to help her

But hell if I know how.

And all the times that

I've been told

The way her illness goes

The truth of it

Is no one really knows

And every day this act we act

Gets more and more absurd.

And all my fears just side inside me,

Screaming to be heard

I know they won't, though

Not a single word.

I was here

At her side

When she called,

When she cried.

How could she

Leave me on my own?

Will it work?

This cure?

There's no way

To be sure...

But I'm weary to the bone.

And whenever she goes flying,

I keep my feet right on the ground

Oh, now I need a lift

And there's no one around.

Dan & Gabe:

Hey, oh, oh, oh

Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, no...

Dan:

And I've never had

To face the world

Without her at my side

Now I'm strolling

Right beside her

As the black hole opens wide

Mine is just a slower suicide.

I've been here

For the show,

Every high,

Every low,

But it's the worst

We've ever known

She's been hurt

And how

But I can't

Give up now

'Cause I've never been alone

I could never be alone.
