Before I Say Goodbye

Please don't pity me, I've still got my pride
 Although I make mistakes, it's still me inside
 Just care for me, just comfort me when I get all uptight
 Be there for me, reassuring me (that) even when I'm wrong, I'm right
 I'm more than a little bit scared
 Now I've lost the memories we've shared
 Maybe there were times we didn't see eye to eye
 But despite my faults I still loved you inside
 And I may not be the man I used to be
 But I need you now like you used to need me
 My child, please don't cast me aside
 Before I say goodbye
 Don't be so hard on me, I don't mean any harm
 I may fight for me, but now I'm weak and I'm disarmed
 Just talk to me, just let me see, echoes of who I was
 I'm scared you see, I'm losing me, please hold me just because
 I'm more than a little bit scared
 Now I've lost the memories we've shared
 Maybe there were times we didn't see eye to eye
 But despite my faults I still loved you inside
 And I may not be the man I used to be
 But I need you now like you used to need me
 My child, please don't cast me aside
 Before I say goodbye
