Do you know how much it would hurt?
If you left? Killed
yourself?

Maybe you don't know how often I cry for you
how much it hurts when you run into the street,
hoping a car will hit you
the only thing stopping you, my arm grabbing
yours

Maybe you don't know how much I would miss you
how much it hurts when you tell me
goodbye, i'll never see you again
best friends forever
love you

Maybe you don't know how much I love you
how much we were meant to be
best friends for life
how much I couldn't live without you

Maybe you don't know.
