If I'm down to earth but I wonder what it's worth,
if I'm trying hard to make sense of it all;
if I'm off to learn how to celebrate and mourn,
if I hold no hand as I'm starting to fall -
I don't mean to ask you to care
All I need is you being there
Setting me free
Letting me be
Every way believing in me
Seasons will rotate, all you have to do is wait,
soon enough I'll walk on the brown wilting leaves;
some will see me cry, though they'll never figure why,
as I know too well what it takes to believe.
I don't mean to ask you to care
All I need is you being there
Setting me free
Letting me be
Every day believing in me
Maybe I don't know how it hurts to let me go,
I have not rehearsed all the words I should say;
never mind the pain, we are sure to meet again,
I will hold your hand and this time I will stay.
I don't mean to ask you to care
All I want is you being there
Setting me free
Letting me be
Nonetheless believing in me
