[00:10.55]Standing in this room
[00:12.50]Well I wonder what comes now
[00:14.85]
[00:15.44]I know I have to help her
[00:17.53]
[00:18.19]But hell if I know how
[00:19.96]
[00:20.76]All the times that I've been told
[00:22.78]The way her illness goes
[00:24.86]
[00:25.73]The truth of it is no one really knows
[00:28.80]
[00:30.99]Every day this act we act
[00:32.97]Gets more and more absurd
[00:35.19]
[00:35.85]And all my fears just sit inside me
[00:38.42]Screaming to be heard
[00:40.46]
[00:41.07]I know they won't though
[00:42.38]Not a single word
[00:45.07]
[00:45.92]I was here
[00:47.12]At her side
[00:48.38]When she called
[00:49.38]When she cried
[00:51.93]How could she leave me on my own
[00:54.58]
[00:56.02]Will it work this cure
[00:58.60]There's no way to be sure
[01:03.34]
[01:03.89]But I'm weary to the bone
[01:06.34]And whenever she goes flying
[01:08.36]
[01:10.81]I keep my feet right on the ground
[01:13.86]
[01:15.97]Oh now I need a lift and there's no one around
[01:22.79]
[01:46.01]And I've never had to face the world
[01:48.51]Without her at my side
[01:50.34]
[01:50.92]Now I'm strolling right beside her
[01:53.22]As the black hole opens wide
[01:55.74]
[01:56.49]Mine is just a slower suicide
[02:01.32]
[02:05.45]I've been here for the show
[02:08.23]Every high every low
[02:11.49]
[02:12.11]But it's the worst we've ever known
[02:14.78]
[02:16.40]She's been hurt and how
[02:19.27]But I can't give up now
[02:25.12]
[02:26.62]Cause I've never been alone
[02:30.52]
[02:32.19]I could never be alone
