Next To Normal feat. Aaron Tveit, Alice Ripley and J. Robert Spencer Lyrics
"I Am The One"

Dan:
Can you tell me
What it is you're afraid of?
And 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 though you should know...

I am the one who knows you,
I am the one who cares,
I am the ones 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.

Dan: [Gabe:]
Could you leave me? [Hey dad, it's me.]
Could you let me go under? [Why can't you see?]
Will you watch as I drown,
And wonder why? [I 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 a life to live?]
Does it help you to know
That so am I? [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. [And you'll see...]

I am the one who'll hold you, [I am...]
I am the one who'll stay, [I am...]
I am the one
Who won't walk away. [I won't walk away.]
Yeah yeah yeah

I am the one who'll hear you [I am...]
And now you tell me that
I won't give a damn [You don't give a damn.]
But I know you know
Who I am. [Who I am.]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
That's who I am. [Who I am.]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
That's who I am. [Who I am.]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
That's who I am.

'Cause I'm holding on...

Diana:
You say you hurt like me...

Gabe:
And I won't let go...

Diana: [Dan & Gabe:]
You say that you know... [Yeah I thought you should know.]
Oh... You don't know [Oh...]
[I am the one who knows you,]
I know you don't know. [I am the one who cares,]
You say that you're hurting, [I am the one]
I know it ain't so. [Who's always been there.]
You don't know. [Yeah, yeah, yeah]
[I am the one who needs you,]
Why don't you just go? [And if you think that]
'Cause it lays me low [I just don't give a damn]

Diana: [Dan:]
When you say [Then you just don't know]
[Who I am...]
You don't know... [Who I am...]
You don't know... [Who I am...]

Gabe:
You just don't know who I am.
