I don’t know what I’ll do
when you’re not here
and I don’t mean how I’ll get by
or how I’ll pay the bills
who will say
I think you’re right
who will say
I can’t believe you said that
who will say
you’re making something out of this
that isn’t there
who will say
you’re right to be afraid
I don’t know what I’ll be
when you’re not here
who will say it’s fine
when I know that it isn’t
I’m right to be afraid
I have never known
a world
without you in it.
