I Am the One

Can you tell me

What it is you're afraid of?

Can you tell me why I'm afraid it's me?

Can I touch you?

We've been fine for so long now

How can something go wrong that I can't see?

'Cause I'm holding on

And I won't let go

I just thought you should know

I am the one who knows you

I am the one who cares

I am the one who's always been there

I am the one who's helped you

And if you think that I just don't give a damn

Then you just don't know who I am

Could you leave me?

Hey, Dad, it's me

Could you let me go under?

Why can't you see?

Will you watch as I drown

And wonder why? (I wonder why)

Are you bleeding?

Are you waiting?

Are you wishing?

Are you wanting all that she can't give?

Are you bruised?

Are you broken?

Are you hurting?

Are you healing?

Are you hoping for a life to live?

Does it help you to know

That so am I? (Well, so am I)

Tell me what to do

Look at me

Tell me who to be

Look at me

So I can see what you see (And you'll see)

I am the one who'll hold you

I am

I am the one who'll stay

I am

I am the one who won't walk away (I won't walk away)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I am the one who'll hear you

I am

And now you tell me

That I won't give a damn

You don't give a damn

But I know you know who I am (Who I am)

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

That's who I am (Who I am)

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

That's who I am (Who I am)

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

That's who I am

'Cause I'm holding on

You say you hurt like me

And I won't let go

You say that you know

Yeah, I thought you should know

You don't know (I am the one who knows you)

I know you don't know (I am the one who cares)

You say that you're hurting (I am the one who's always been there)

I know it ain't so

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You don't know (I am the one who needs you)

Why don't you just go (And if you think that I just)

'Cause it lays me low (Don't give a damn)

When I say (Then you just don't know who I am)

You don't know

Who I am

You don't know

Who I am (You just don't know who I am)
