Nothing matters more than those who depend on you, emotionally or physically. Even if the situation is life or death, you have to be there for them, because they need you.


You're more than a face in a photo frame
You're more than some words on a computer screen
You're more than you think you'll ever be
Baby you got it all wrong
(Chorus: It's not your fault no girl likes you
They don't know what they're missing out on
They weren't worth your time or self-esteem
Please try to be
The man I know you can be)
Inside that dark interior is someone like the sun
You love easy and you mourn when it's gone
But honey, it's not your fault
Don't blame yourself for the world around you
Because (Chorus)
You're sensitive and emotional
And you're a shining star
(Chorus)
It's they're fault they don't like you
They don't know the man you are
They're not worth your self-esteem
And they aren't worth your heart
(Chorus)
I have faith you can be
The man I know you can be
