Intro
Just before the lights went out
we sat up and talked about
all the things that we would be
I just wanted him to be with me
Riff
but he had a mind of his own
and he did not mind being alone
left me there in my little world
left me there like a little girl
Chorus
he said, ?don?t get hung up;
hang ups will get you down?
he said, ?don?t look back;
look up and then look around:
around that time I was feeling high
like I never had to try
to kick myself up out of bed
kick these worries out of my head
Chorus
he said ?it?s better this way;
one day you?ll understand?
he said, ?i?m leaving today?
and he let go of my hand
I know that i?ll never see him again
not the way the same way I saw him then
I know that when I get back on my feet
I will walk away from misery
Riff
what do you say when it?s all been said
how do you feel when it?s all been felt
where do you go when it?s all gone
and you don?t care enough to carry on
Chorus
I say close your eyes,
look down deep inside
someone is there for you,
someone who cares for you
I know it?s easier to say than do
easier to look away than see it through
I know it?s easier to think than feel
easier to make it up than make it real
it?s hard to love, it?s hard not to love
