Let's find something that can last

Like cigarette ash, the world is collapsing around me

Let's try to do the best we can

I think I need more than the flowers and letters, man

It's not that I don't try, it's that you won't again

And it hurts too much to laugh about it

Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it

Hey, please think about it, friend

I know you're lonely, I'm here writing in the dark

Just trying to get the balls

But it hurts too much to ask

Dear, 'I Need Someone Who's Lost'

Tell me how not to stop all these tears and fears

So nothing else will drop

So all this pain will stop

But if it hurts too much to ask

If it hurts too much to ask

It's not that I don't cry

It's that I have to hide, yeah

It's that I have to hide, so I won't be there to ask

So I won't be there to ask

So I won't be there to ask

No, I won't be there to ask

And it hurts too much to laugh about it

Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it

Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it, man
