Do you ever wonder
If we were not friends
I know it's hard to ponder
But there's reasons for that
Yeah yeah yeah

But I can't go on without you
It's burning inside my head

But I feel so alone without you
Now I can't survive
It must be alright

I will not take that road again
I will not try to find those things up in my head
I will not take that road again
Even if I keep my head above the ground
Which you know I will
Well you know I will

Don't you wonder what things would be like
Well I know I can't give you everything without trust
Be real nice Yeah
Well I can't go on without you
It's burning inside my head
But I feel so alone without you
Now I can't survive
It must be alright

I will not take that road again
I will not try to find those things out in my head
I will not take that road again
Even if i keep my head now
But I'm trying
Now people can't you see
If I'm blind now
And all this was a dream
At least it was a dream about you..right now

But I can't go on without you
It's burning inside my head
I feel so alone without you now
And I feel so alone right now

I will not take that road again
I will not try to find those things up in my head
I will not take that road again again again
Well you know I will
Well you know I will

Well you know I will...I will
Well you know I will

Do you ever wonder
Have you ever thought about

If we were not friends
What if we weren't close?

I know it's hard to ponder
I realize it's difficult to think about

But there's reasons for that
But there are factors that make it challenging

But I can't go on without you
I cannot continue living without you

It's burning inside my head
It's a constant, agonizing pain in my mind

But I feel so alone without you
However, I feel extremely lonely without you

Now I can't survive
I am unable to cope without you

It must be alright
But I will try to be fine

I will not take that road again
I won't repeat the same mistake

I will not try to find those things up in my head
I won't try to decipher my confused thoughts
