(A song about no one else but me.)
I don’t have a tune behind me…
I don’t have a single note to bring me through…
To bring me…through.
I don’t have a single word to say…
I don’t have another smile to give you…
You don’t need it, anyway.
I’m not a hero,
And I’m not your healer.
And I’m not your friend…tonight…
No one sees me,
They just see a man who can understand them.
See a man who can sing a song,
To sing the words they knew…
No one sees me…
They just hear their own words echoed in my throat…
With nowhere else to go…
They don’t see me…
(See me…)
I don’t have a place where I feel satisfied…
I have a hundred voices telling me that I’ll be just fine…
I’ll be….just…fine…
I don’t have arms to hold me…
Just arms that need holding on…
And that’s fine…that’s fine…but that’s not who I am inside….
I’m not your hero,
…And I’m not your kind words.
And I’m not your friend…tonight…
No one sees me…
They just see a man with jokes and honest words…
See a man who sings a song,
That reminds them of their life…
No one sees me…
They just see a man with a broken heart,
Hidden on his sleeve,
Cause that’s not where they’re looking…
You don’t see me.
You don’t hear me….
But you need me…
And is that…fair?
You don’t see me…
But all of you hear me.
And what do you do?
…You tell me…about tomorrow.
No one sees me
They just see a man smiling when they walk away…
Because what else is there to say?
No one sees me,
They just feel better and they move on to their own lives…
Boyfriends, husbands, and wives…
Enjoy your lives…
…I’ll be….
Right here.
