I can't make you smile
and I can't change your life
I can't be counted on
to show you what is right
I can't promise you
What I don't have for myself
Because I'm not someone special
I'm only someone else
I can only show you
that you're not alone
And hope that in the process
I can help you feel at home
I can't stop your pain
and I can't fix the past
I can't make you accept yourself
Can't keep you from coming in last
I can't stop mistakes
and I can't tear down walls
I can't prevent heartbreaks
I might not catch you if you fall
I can only be here
to help you understand
And if you should feel you need it
I will gladly hold your hand
