There's Me

Look at you
Like any other person
Trying to hold your ground

Look at you
Trying to impress others
Just look at what I've found

Look at you
So brave and bold
Supposedly you can't crumble

Look at you
Trying to
Blend in with the crowd.

I wonder what'll happen
When you've finally broken down

I wonder if you'll notice me
Standing there
My arms reached out
Waiting to show you how much I care.

I wonder when you run to me
And pull me up so close
When you'll hide your tears in my clothes
I wonder if you'll know
That I'll always be there.

Maybe you'll realise
That I'd love to hold you tight
Maybe you'll see
How I don't mind you sighing.

My fingers trace your face
And wipe away your tears
I know that I'll never figure you out
But that I'd have a hell of a time trying.

All troubles gone
Already your tears have dried up
And- I wonder- as you resume your life...

Will you notice?
That somewhere in the mad, complicated crowd
Lost among all the different faces
That I'll be standing there
That when everyone else's shoulders look wrong
There's mine.
There's always me.
