"I've Been" lyrics

Aaron Tveit & J. Robert Spencer Lyrics

"I've Been"
(from "Next To Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[Dan:]
Standing in this room
Well, I wonder what comes now
I know I have to help her
But hell if I know how
And all the times that I've been told
The way her illness goes
The truth of it is no one really knows

And every day this act we act
Gets more and more absurd
And all my fears just sit inside me
Screaming to be heard
I know they won't though
Not a single word

I was here at her side
When she called, when she cried
How could she leave me on my own?
Will it work, this cure?
There's no way to be sure

But I'm weary to the bone
And whenever she goes flying
I keep my feet right on the ground
Oh, now I need a lift
And there's no one around
Hey...

[Gabe:]
Hey...

[Dan & Gabe:]
Oh...
Oh...

[Dan:]
And I've never had to face the world
Without her at my side
Now I'm strolling right beside her
As the black hole opens wide
Mine is just a slower suicide

I've been here for the show
Every high, every low
But it's the worst we've ever known
She's been hurt and how
But I can't give up now
'Cause I've never been alone
I could never be alone
