I’m not worth a damn,
But I know you know who I am.

Dan: [Spoken]
No.

Gabe:
I know you know who I am.

Dan: [Spoken]
Can’t you just leave me alone?

I know you know who I am.

Dan: [Spoken]
Why didn’t you go with her?

Gabe:						        Dan:

And I won’t let go.				        Let me go.
Yeah, I want you to know...			        You don’t know...

I am the one who held you.
I am the one who cried.
I am the one who watched
While you died.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

But you’ve always known
Who I am.
