If the night turned cold and the stars look down
And you`d hug yourself on the cold cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger`s coat
No one would you see
You`d ask yourself who`d watch me
My only friend who could it be
It`s hard to say I hate to say it
But it`s probably me
When your belly`s empty and the hunger`s so real
And you`re too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
And no one would you see
You`d ask yourself who`d watch for me
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free
CHORUS
I hate to say it I hate to say it
But it`s probably me
You`re not the easiest person I ever got to know
It`s hard for us both to let our feelings show
And some will say I should let you go your way
You only make me cry
But if there`s one guy just one guy
Who laid down his life for you and I
REPEAT CHORUS
The world`s gone crazy and it makes no sense
There`s only one voice that comes to your defence
And the jury`s out and your eyes search the room
One friendly face is all you need to see
And if there`s on guy just one guy
Who laid down hsi life for you and I
REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE
