Can you tell me
What it is you're afraid of?
And 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 though you should know...
I am the one who knows you,
I am the one who cares,
I am the ones 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.
