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 By 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 (tell me what's it's like) I can feel it comin' on (tell me) Tell me what it's like I can feel it comin' on
