lyrics

Who am I, to hold you? 
Who am I, to say? 
Have I ever told you? 
Am I just in your way? 
While millions of people look to you. 
With bated breath. 
Their world on your shoulders. 
Who am I, among the rest? 
Another lost under the boulders. 

But what if you fall? 
What if you break? 
What if you call and say I have what it takes? 
There's no promise of tomorrow yet, you remain astray. 
What if you fall today? 
What if you stay? 

So, tell me. 
How many more people do you need? 
For your to feel, complete? 
While meanwhile, I'm waiting in the wings. 
Admitting defeat. 
For the foolish fight for what they can't see. 
So, you and I will never be. 

But what if you fall? 
What if you break? 
What if you call and say I have what it takes? 
There's no promise of tomorrow yet, you remain astray. 
What if you fall today? 
What if you stay? 

So, who am I? 
Some strange little girl, from out of town? 
Or maybe just some fresh meat that's not been passed around? 
You'll never know. 
As you slip away. 
You'll never know. 
You'll never know how. 
I'll never know how. 
...to make you stay. 

Because, who am I?
