I Am The One Lyrics by J. Robert Spencer

Next to Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2009

[DAN]
Can you tell me
What it is you're afraid of?
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 thought you should know
I am the one who knows you
I am the one who cares
I am the one 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
Could you leave me?
[GABE]
Hey, Dad, it's me
[DAN]
Could you let me go under?
[GABE]
Why can't you see?
[DAN]
Will you watch as I drown
[DAN & GABE]
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]
You say that you know
[DAN & GABE]
Yeah, I thought you should know
[DIANA, DAN & GABE]
You don't know 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 who's always been there
I know it ain't so
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You don't know I am the one who needs you
Why don't you just go And if you think that I just
'Cause it lays me low Don't give a damn
[DIANA, DAN, & GABE]
When I say Then you just don't know who I am
You don't know
Who I am
You don't know
Who I am You just don't know who I am
