I Am the One

Can you tell me
What it is you're afraid of
And 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 though 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

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 heal 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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's who I am
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's who I am
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)

Oh

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)
I know it ain't so
(Who's always been there)

You don't know
(Yeah yeah yeah)
(I am the one who needs you)
Why don't you just go?
(And if you think that)
'Cause it lays me low
(I just don't give a damn)
When you 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)
