[verse]
i been your shoulder to cry on and my friend you never notice i held you up through all these years. I loved you silently and watched you fall under another spell
[chorus]
but baby why cant it be me to hold you if only i could be the one lying next to you oh but no more i cant do it anymore im tired of the tears and the pain i take from watching you cry
[verse]

[chorus]

[verse]
