Next To Normal I've Been
DAN
Standing in this room, well I wonder what comes now
I know I have to help her, but hell if I know how
And all the times that I've been told, the way her illness goes
"The truth of it is no one really knows"
And every day this act we act gets more and more absurd
And all my fears just sit inside me screaming to be heard
I know they won't go, not a single word
I was here at her side when she called, when she cried
How could she leave me on my own?
Will it work this cure?
There's no way to be sure
But I'm weary to the bone
And whenever she goes flying
I keep my feet right on the ground
Oh, now I need a lift and there's no one around
DAN and GABE
[harmonizing]
DAN
And I've never had to face the world without her by my side
Now I'm strolling right beside her as the black hole opens wide
Mine is just a slower suicide
I've been here for the show
Every high, every low
But it's the worst we've ever known
She's been hurt, and how
But I can't give up now
'Cause I've never been alone
I could never be alone
