tell me what it's like

you know we've been close friends a long time now

and i just needed somebody to talk to

i hate to bring this subject up

because i know how you've been hurt

with someone you really loved

and your whole world just crumbled apart

but i thought it might help me to know what it's like

when it happens so i came to you

'cause i can feel it comin' on

tell me what it's like

to lose the only thing you care about

tell me how it feels

to know your only dream is gone

tell me how you live

when you've lost something you can't live without

tell me what it's like

i can feel it comin' on

tell me what it's like

to wake up crying every morning

with an aching heart that just won't set you free

tell me what you do

when there's no one that you wanna do it with

there's nobody else you really wanna see

tell me what it's like

when those four lonely walls start closin' in

tell me how it feels to spend the nights alone

tell me what to say

whenever someone ask you how you've been

tell me what it's like

i can feel it comin' on

tell me what it's like

i can feel it comin' on
