I Am the One

Lyrics: Brian Yorkey/Tom Kitt Music: Tom Kitt 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 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 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 I am the one who'll stay I am I am the one who 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 man You don'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 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 You say that you're hurting I know it ain't so yeah yeah yeah I am the one who needs you Why don't you just go

Cause it lays me low when I say 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
