I've Been

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 sit inside me screaming to be heard

I know they won't, though, not a single word

I've been 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

♪

And I 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
