I Am The One

Next To Normal


Dan:
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 ones 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.

Dan:
Could you leave me?

Gabe:
Hey dad, it's me.

Dan:
Could you let me go under?

Gabe:
Why can't you see?

Dan:
Will you watch as I drown,

Dan & Gabe:
And wonder why?

[Dan]
Are you bleeding?
[Gabe]
Are you waiting, are you wishing
Are you wanting all that she can't give?

[Dan]
Are you bruised?
Are you broken?
[Gabe]
Are you hurting, are you healing
Are you hoping for  a life to live?

[Together]
Does it help you to know
That so am I?
