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 can 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?
[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]
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?
[DAN]
Does it help you to know
[DAN]
Tell me what to do
[GABE]
Look at me
[DAN]
Tell me who to be
[DAN]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the one who'll hear you
[GABE]
I am

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

Cause I'm holding on

You say you hurt like me
[GABE]
