You and I, we've been through hell
We both don't understand that well
Neither of us quite know why
Our lovers had to say goodbye

There was nothing we could say
So we just wait around today
And maybe someday they will see
Just what they've done to you and me

But, 'til then, life must go on
With painful memories from certain songs
Their face haunt us in our dreams
And tears flow freely into streams

We don't understand why they hurt us this way
Our memories of past flash back in yesterdays
We live, we love, we hope in sorrow
That they will be back tomorrow

Daydreams fill our nights, and night dreams fill our days
Confusion and uncertainty both have us in a haze
Yet all we can do is talk about
The way the packed up and walked out

You're here for me, and I for you
And I suppose that we'll make due
With knowing that they just ran out
To leave us wandering all about

So if you ever need a friend
To talk it out, you can depend
That I will always be right here
To dry up all the fallen tears

'Cause nothings' worth the pain we feel
Nor the hearts our lovers steal
We wait around, just passing time
They broke our hearts, love's greatest crime

So if you need to talk things out
I will be here, without a doubt
To help you mend your broken heart
To collect the pieces that fall apart

Should you need to cry in sorrow
I have a shoulder you can borrow
I'll be here when you laugh or cry
And I will never say goodbye
