Ive got a best friend who Ive known some time And after all of these years Ive 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 wouldve know itd 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 Im longing for the days when i am not so tense when friends are only that, and everything makes sense 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 wont let me die alone I said they wont let me die alone And Ive got a sister who I barely see Despite the fact she lives right up the block from me And when we run into each other on the street Its 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 were both grown up and still without a clue Thank god for family they always forgive us Im thinking 'bout 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 wont let me die alone I said they wont let me die alone Maybe Im 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 wont let me die alone I, I, I said now how am I gonna get by When Im afraid of the people I know For better or worse we all come together And they wont let me die alone I said they wont let me die alone I said they wont let me die alone I said they wont let me die alone
