I am the one who loved you.
I am the one who stayed.
I am the one and you walked away.
I am the one who waited
And now you act like you just don't give a damn.
Like you never knew who I am.
I am the one who knows you... [I am...]
I am the one you fear.... [I am...]
I am the one...
...who's always been here. [who's always bee there...]
I am the one who'll heal you... [I am...]
I know you told her that I'm not worth a damn,
But I know you know who I am...
"No. "
I know you know who I am.
"Can't you just leave me alone?"
I know you know who I am.
"Why didn't you go with her?"
'Cause I'm holding on [Let me go...]
And I won't let go [Let me go!]
And I want you to know [Yeah, you don’t know]
I am the one who held you
I am the one who cried
I am the one who watched while you died.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I am the tone who loved you
I tried pretending that I don't give a damn,
But you've always known who I am.
