It's never easy and you never know What leaves you crying and what makes you whole There ain't no way that I can hold it down Falling to pieces forever in doubt But it's alright, why don't you tell me again? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends But it's alright, why don't you tell me my friend? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends? Oh no, oh no There ain't nobody who can show you how To find the surface when you're underground There ain't no blanket that can hide this cold There ain't no memory that ever gets old But it's alright, why don't you tell me again? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends? But it's alright, why don't you tell me my friend? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends? And I move all directions to the corners and the outskirts While the lovers and the lonely start to whisper all about me And if I stand here silent I almost start to feel you fading in Telling me hold on 'Cause it's gonna be alright, why don't you tell me again? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends? But it's alright, why don't you tell me my friend? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends? How you'll still be there when the heartache ends? Say you'll be with me, when the heartache ends
