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 gonna 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
