You can have a friend get their heart broke
And you can be there when they need it most, but
You won´t be the one falling off the deep end
You can have a friend lose somebody close
And you can be there when they need it most, but

You won´t be the one having trouble sleeping

Somebody loses their somebody every day

But you´ll never really know what it´s like
´Til you wake up to some rеal bad news
You´ll never rеally know how it feels
´Til it happens to you
No, you´ll never really know what it´s like
Even if you think you do
You´ll never really know how it feels
´Til it happens to you

You can say you´re sorry a million times
But even if you try, try to sympathize
You won´t be the one picking up the pieces
You can do your best, call every night
Listen to them say, say they´re alright

But you know there´s a chance they don´t really mean it

Somebody loses their somebody every day

But you´ll never really know what it´s like
´Til you wake up to some real bad news
You´ll never really know how it feels
´Til it happens to you
No, you´ll never really know what it´s like
Even if you think you do
You´ll never really know how it feels
´Til it happens to you
You´ll never really know what it´s like
´Til you wake up to some real bad news
You´ll never really know how it feels
´Til it happens to you
No, you´ll never really know what it´s like

Even if you think you do
You´ll never really know how it feels
´Til it happens to you
