I've been thinking things, thinking things, thinking things over
It's been sickening, sickening, sickening me
Maybe this, maybe that, maybe yes, maybe I don't know
Maybe you shouldn't say things that you don't believe

You say you feel it
But I don't really think that you mean it, no
But how do we cope, how do we cope, how do we cope?
How do we cope, how do we cope, how do we cope?

I know this, know this, know this much for the asking
I see things that nobody else ever sees
And it's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful darling
But just you, just you, just get away from me

We say we're sinking
Lets your lover out from thinking straight
But how do we cope, how do we cope, how do we cope?
How do we cope, how do we cope, how do we cope?
How do we cope when the light is failing?
How do we know what way to go?

'Cause my heart beats like an express train
I don't know if I'll be back again
But I don't know where to go
I don't know where to go
I don't know where to go
How do we cope, how do we cope, how do we cope?
How do we cope, how do we cope, how do we cope?
Tell me, tell me, how do we cope when the light is failing?
And how do we know what way to go, what way to go?
How do we cope?
