I Am The One

(Album: Riverdale: Special Episode - Next To Normal The Musical - 2021)

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
Then you just don't know who I am

Could you leave me (Hey sis, 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 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 loved 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 needs you (I am)
And now you think that I just don'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
And I won't let go
Yeah I thought you should know

I am the one who knows you (I am)
I am the one who cares (I am)
I am the one who's always been there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the one who needs you (I am)
And if you think that I just don't give a damn (don't give a damn)
Then you just don't know who I am (who I am)
(Who I am)
You just don't know who I am
