I know the things that hurt you by heart

I know before the bad feelings start

I'm watching how you turn away melting inside

And I know you think you'll fix it yourself



You think of Me, it scares you away

Pretty sure you know what I'd say

You've heard so many people cry, speaking for Me

They all claim

You oughta know right by now



(Chorus):



Take a look at Me, don't you know Me

I've always been by your side

Take another look at Me, you can need Me

I know when you're tired, and when you're alone and lost.

-----



You're so afraid of tippin' your hand

Or learning where this hurting began

You like the way they see you now, from the outside

So you try to hide how desperate you are



(Chorus):



Take a look at Me, you can trust Me

I'll always be by your side

Take another look at Me, you can need Me

I know when you're tired, and when you're alone and lost

-----



(bridge):



I'm not surprised by the things you do and say

You'll never see Me walking away

I've been there at every turn you take,

And the mistakes you've made

It hurts to see you not looking to Me

I'm always the faithful one, and always will be...  (instrumental)



(repeat chorus)
