I keep on telling you it's gonna get better
Baby 'cause that's all I can think to do
In my experience time heals everything
But I know that just might not be true

And my words they don't mean much anyway
When you're dwelling in that particular shade of blue
Ooh, I can see your sorrow
I can see your pain

(What can I say? What can I do?)
Ohhh, baby

(When you lose someone that you love)
When you lose someone that you really, really love
(When you lose someone that you love)
Well there's nothing I can say, there's nothing I can do
(When you lose someone that you love)
Hardest thing in this whole wide world
(When you lose someone that you love)
Oh, when you lose someone that you love

I could tell you it's just part of life
For every setting sun, there's a break of day
But I'd be lying right through my teeth
If I told you I knew why they had to go away

Some things in this life
We just ain't meant to understand
Just know that I'm here for you
To help in any way I can

(What can I say? What can I do?)
When it feels so helpless
(I'll be right here, standing by you)
Standing right by your side

Ohhh, baby
(When you lose someone that you love)
When you lose someone that you really, really love
(When you lose someone that you love)
Oh, I wanna tell you, wanna tell you that I'm so sorry
(When you lose someone that you love)
I am here for you if you need me
(When you lose someone that you love)
Oh, when you lose someone that you love
