It's never easy and you never know
What leaves you crying
And what makes you whole
There ain't no way that I can hold it down
Fallin' to pieces
Forever in doubt

But it's alright
Why don't you tell me again
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
But it's alright
Why don't you tell me, my friend
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends

There ain't nobody who can show you how
To find the surface when you're underground
There ain't no blanket that can hide this cold
There ain't no memory
That ever gets old

But it's alright
Why don't you tell me again
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
But it's alright
Why don't you tell me, my friend
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends

And I move all directions
To the corners and the outskirts
While the lovers and the lonely
Start to whisper all about me
And if I stand here silent
I almost start to feel you fading in
Telling me hold on

Cause it's gonna be alright
Why don't you tell me again
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
But it's alright
Why don't you tell me, my friend
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends

Say you'll be with me
When the heartache ends
