I’ve got a best friend who I’ve known some timeAnd after all of these years I’ve got to read his mindAnd when he leaves the room I can feel him sighAs his thoughts they slip out like whispersWho would’ve know it’d be this hard to waitFor one person to person to communicateAnd it never feels dramatic while we complicateThank god for old friends they always forgive usI’m longing for the days when i am not so tensewhen friends are only that, and everything makes senseIf i am not myself, then who am i pretending to be?And I said how am I gonna get byWithout the help of the people I knowFor better or worse we all come togetherAnd they won’t let me die aloneI said they won’t let me die aloneAnd I’ve got a sister who I barely seeDespite the fact the lives right up the block from meAnd when we run into each other on the streetIt’s like two strangers soul to soulWhen I was younger she was younger tooIt seems the space is the only thing that really grewAnd now we’re both grown up and still without a clueThank god for family they always forgive usI’m longing for the house where we were always raisedIn every family tree some history remainsIf I am not myself, then who am I pretending to beAnd I said how am I gonna get byWithout the help of the people I knowFor better or worse we all come togetherAnd they won’t let me die aloneI said they won’t let me die aloneMaybe I’m not supposed to be closeTo all of the people I need the most, need the mostAnd I said how am I gonna get byWithout the help of the people I knowFor better or worse we all come togetherAnd they won’t let me die aloneI, I, I said now how am I gonna get byWhen I’m afraid of the people I knowFor better or worse we all come togetherAnd they won’t let me die aloneI said they won’t let me die aloneI said they won’t let me die aloneI said they won’t let me die alone
