i hear you crying,
i hear you screaming,
i want to hide, to die
but i cant leave you like this
cuz I know you need somethin
to pull you through the darkest hour.

I know you need me,
but I just cant stay any longer.
its time you learned to stand on your own feet.

I'm scared, and tired
I need a shoulder to cry on
im sorry for the pain
i wish i could take it away.

Im a child,
just a scared little girl,
every time i hear you cry
i break a little inside.

I'm trying to be strong,
cuz i know you need someone
to be there, a shoulder to cry on
but don't you see
that person cant be me?
