| I ain’t here to hold you when you cry
 | 
| I ain’t here to hold your shaking hand
 | 
| I ain’t here to look you in the eye
 | 
| Or beg for you to understand
 | 
| I ain’t gonna walk you through your dreams
 | 
| Walk you through this life that we all know
 | 
| I ain’t here to listen while you speak
 | 
| I ain’t here to heal your broken soul
 | 
| Am I here at all?
 | 
| I ain’t here to tell you what you need
 | 
| I ain’t gonna take a noble stand
 | 
| I ain’t here to look you in the eye
 | 
| Or beg for you to understand
 | 
| I can only tell you what I’ve seen
 | 
| I can only tell you how it felt
 | 
| When my heart was crushed to bad inside
 | 
| Till I felt the hatred slowly melt
 | 
| I don’t wanna
 | 
| I ain’t gonna watch your every move
 | 
| I ain’t gonna dog your every step
 | 
| I ain’t here to shape your every mood
 | 
| I ain’t here to keep your secrets kept
 | 
| Oh, but if I held you in my arms
 | 
| If I could squeeze you till we cry
 | 
| I don’t wanna lose this love I feel
 | 
| I don’t wanna lose this fight tonight

 | 
| I ain’t here to hold you when you cry
 | 
| I ain’t here to hold your shaky hand
 | 
| I ain’t here to look you in the eye
 | 
| I don’t want you under my command
 | 
| I can only hope you feel your tears
 | 
| I can only wish you’d feel the hope
 | 
| I can only hope that I can see
 | 
| Out beyond this skin that covers me
 | 
| Oh, how I wish that you were here
 | 
| If I could hold you in my arms
 | 
| Oh, how I wish that you were mine
 | 
| I don’t wanna beg for you no more
 | 
| I ain’t gonna tell you how I feel
 | 
| I ain’t gonna tell you how I feel
 | 
| I ain’t gonna pray for you to love me
 | 
| Because I know you will, I just know it |
