And every time you crave for me,
I'm here.
And anything you hunger for,
I'll share.

And I will be quietly standing by,
While slowly I am dying inside.

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one
Who can feel like I am a child in love.

Every time I talk to you, you're down.
And every time you need a laugh, I'm around.
And when you forget I'm here, I'm not.
It isn't really me that you forgot.

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one
Who can feel like I am a child in love.

Whisper now and tell me how,
You'll watch me and tell me somehow,
I'm gonna be all right.
