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 could 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
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?
And does it help you to know? 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

I am the one who'll hold you
I am the one who'll stay
I am the one who won't walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I am the one who'll hear you
And now you tell me that I won't give a damn
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 and I won't let go
Yeah, I 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I am the one who needs you
And if you think that I just don't give a damn
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
