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   Or beg for you to understand   I ain’t gonna walk you thru your dreams   Walk you thru 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 tjo understand   I can only tell you what I’ve seen   I can only tell you how it felt   While 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 tonite   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   I just know it!
