Am I The Only One Who Cares

Jamie turned 13 tonight
But she didn’t blow out the birthday lights
Jamie and her momma had another big fight
She locked herself in her room
She climbed up on her windowsill
Sat and stared at the cars on the street
And listened to her own heart beat
And whispered to the moon
Am I the only one who cares what I do Cause if I’m the only one then who can I turn to Oh moon can you tell me that it’s not just me and you
Or am I the only one who cares what I do The moon said Jamie can’t you hear yourself
You’re acting like there ain’t nobody else
Come on girl take a big ole breath
You know what you gotta do There’s one more thing before I go
A woman’s been standing at the window below
Searching for the words to let you know
How much she loves you too
And you’re not the only one who cares what you do And I’m not the only one that you can turn to Now Jamie please believe me It’s not just me and you
And I’m not the only one who cares
She cares too
Jamie heard her mama
Softly knocking at her door
The moon just smiled and whispered
You all don’t need me anymore
I’m not the only one who cares what you do And I’m not the only one you can tell your troubles to
I’ve done the best I can
Now the rest is up to you
And I’m not the only one who cares
You both care too
You both care too
