        And your world around you is tumbling down, darling

Verse 2: 
 
        When you feel alone and about to give up 
        'Cause your best just ain't good enough

Verse 3: 
 
        I can tell the way you hang your head 
        You're without love now, now you're afraid 
        And through your tears you look around 
        But there's no peace of mind to be found - I know what you're thinking 
        You're alone now, no love of your own, but darling
