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
It hurts too much to ask

Dear "I Need Someone Who's Lost"
Tell me how not to stop all these fears and tears
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
