I’ve got a best friend who I’ve known some time And after all of these years I’ve got to read his mind And when he leaves the room I can feel him sigh As his thoughts they slip out like whispers Who would’ve know it’d be this hard to wait For one person to person to communicate And it never feels dramatic while we complicate Thank god for old friends they always forgive us I’m longing for the house remembering all these days Never done enough, everything feels great If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be And I said how am I gonna get by Without the help of the people I know For better or worse we all come together And they won’t let me die alone I said they won’t let me die alone And I’ve got a sister who I barely see Despite the fact the lives right up the block from me And when we run into each other on the street It’s like two strangers soul to soul When I was younger she was younger too It seems the space is the only thing that really grew
And now we’re both grown up and still without a clue Thank god for family they always forgive us I’m thinking of the house where we were always raised In every family tree some history remains If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be And I said how am I gonna get by Without the help of the people I know For better or worse we all come together And they won’t let me die alone I said they won’t let me die alone Maybe I’m not supposed to be close To all of the people I need the most, need the most And I said how am I gonna get by Without the help of the people I know For better or worse we all come together And they won’t let me die alone I said now how am I gonna get by When I’m afraid of the people I know For better or worse we all come together And they won’t let me die alone I said they won’t let me die alone I said they won’t let me die alone I said they won’t let me die alone
