Verse 1:

Don't push me away.
The pain you're hiding is the very reason I should stay (I should stay).
I won't leave you alone.
I won't coddle you. Yes, I know that you're already grown (already grown).

I've seen you try by yourself,
Seen you cry by yourself,
Keeping your burdens from everyone else.
I've seen the brooding, the moaning, the groaning.
I want you to know that I know.

I've seen you try by yourself,
Seen you cry by yourself,
Keeping your burdens from everyone else.
I've seen the brooding, the moaning, the groaning. 
I want you to know...

Chorus:

I won't let you suffer alone.
I won't let you suffer alone.
Even if I can't do a single thing for you,
I won't leave you here on your own.
I won't let you suffer alone.
I won't let you suffer alone.
Even if that means that we're sitting on
Opposite sides of your high wall of stone.

Verse 2:

I know you don't feel right.
I also know that you are trying with all of your might;
And offers of help either feel like they're pity or spite.
Other times they don't sound like help. They sound like a slight
(Like a slight).

It's like you're stuck in a room
Built up in your own mind.
There's no light and it's dark in there all of the time.
Oh, I've seen you smiling. I know you're just coping.
I want you to know that I know.

It's like you're stuck in a room
Built up in your own mind.
There's no light and it's dark in there all of the time.
Oh, I've seen you smiling. I know you're just coping.
I want you to know...

Chorus:

I won't let you suffer alone.
I won't let you suffer alone.
Even if I can't do a single thing for you,
I won't leave you here on your own.
I won't let you suffer alone.
I won't let you suffer alone.
Even if that means that we're sitting on
Opposite sides of your high wall of stone.
I won't let you suffer alone.
