It's hard to speak to a dying friend
One don't know quite where to begin
You can't pass the difficulty
Get through stone and say what you see
What sort of joke are you gonna make
To hit the ice and see if it breaks?
And furthermore, what you're trying to say
When you know that they're fading away, fading away

Cause you've got to be true
To recognize what's within you
Cause I'll walk with you
Next to you, to you, to you, to you

No medicine for what you got
If you can, baby open up
Don't be this way, baby you can change
Never need to just stay the same
Cut through the bone and tell what you think
Break all the noise, pass through the brink
And furthermore, what you're trying to say
When you know that we're fading away, fading away

Cause you've got to be true
To recognize what's within you
Cause I'll walk with you
Next to you, to you, to you, to you
Cause you've got to be true
To recognize what's within you
Cause I'll walk with you
Next to you, to you, to you, to you
