No One Else Knows-But Me
No one else can love you like I can
Or ever know you better than I do
Not even your father that’s always been there
Or the mother that gave birth to you
No one else can really tell if you’re hurting
Or know exactly when to say I love you
They don’t know how you feel inside
No, not the way that I do
How can they possibly know what you need
If your feelings, you constantly hide
Only I know why you went into the bathroom
This morning and sat down and cried
No one else was there to wipe the tears away
I didn’t mind doing that for you
No one was there to tell you that everything would be ok
But, I gave you
the encouragement to make it through
No one else knows, how beautiful you really are
Just by looking at you from afar
They can’t see your heart, soul, and spirit
But I see that you are a shining star
No one else knows that sometimes all it takes
Is for someone to hug you really tight
They don’t understand the power that’s in a hug
Or the importance of hugging with all their might
See, I can do allot of things for you
But undone one task must remain
Because even though I have the ability to hug
Hugging myself is just not the same!
