Who Suffers More

We struggle with life,
Carrying a wound that'll never heal.
Meeting friends that are... no longer
They don't understand how we feel.
They turn and walk the other way
Afraid to look into our eyes
They walked straight out of our lives
No taking time to say good-byes
They walked straight out of our lives
Afraid to look into our eyes

We can see what you're doin'
You're hiding from your fears
Yes we're still breathin'
And we're standin right here
Someday we'll be gone
Then how will you feel
When it's over and done
Will it all seem real?

Life grow shorter
With each passing day
we wish we could go back
But we know there's no way
We keep our heads up as we walk
It would be nice to have a friend
Who'd just wanna sit and talk
Someone who'd be there at the end
Who'd just wanna sit and talk
It would be nice to have a friend

We can see what you're doin'
You're hiding from your fears
Yes we're still breathin'
And we're standin right here
Someday we'll be gone
Then how will you feel
When it's over and done
Will it all seem real?

We wish someone would
Listen to what we have to say
Stop the hidin'
Stop the runnin' away
When you're sick it
Helps to see a smile
Add a few precious moments
By sittin', talkin' for a while
Because in the end
When the light begins to dim
We will be all alone....

We can see what you're doin'
You're hiding from your fears
Yes we're still breathin'
And we're standin right here
Someday we'll be gone
Then how will you feel
When it's over and done
Will it all seem real?
