[CAIRO]
Nobody remembers fourth grade Riley
She is harmless and shy and will never speak up
'Cause she's scared to be wrong
Riley is a wallflower
The type of little kid who gets paralyzed with fear
When she gets called on

But who had your back when you had a heart attack
'Cause the kids would start to laugh
When you st-st-st-st-stuttered
It was me who decided you could be
So much more than they could see
If I never saved you, w-w-w-w-what would you have done?
You would be no one

So forgive me for doing what's best for you
So forgive me for trying to
Make this easier
I'll always be on your team
You are nothing
You have nothing
Without me

[RILEY]
Everyone remembers sophomore Cairo
Starting fights in the halls
Mouthing off in each class
'Cause she'll never be wrong
Anything but wallflower
The type of high school kid who is rarely seen at parties
With her pants on
[CAIRO]
But who has your back every single time you crack
When you don't cut yourself slack and you keep
C-c-c-c-crashing
See, it's me who's beside you
Constantly
Making sure you don't see
How much everyone is t-t-t-t-trashing us for fun
You could be no one

[RILEY, CAIRO]
So forgive me for doing what's best for you
So forgive me for trying to
Make this easier
I'll always be on your team
You are nothing
You have nothing
Without me

[CAIRO (RILEY)]
Who had your back when you had a heart attack (So forgive me for doing what's best for you)
'Cause the kids would start to laugh (So forgive me)
When you st-st-st-st-stuttered (For trying)
It was me who decided (To make this easier)
You could be so much more than they could see (I'll always be on your team)
If I never saved you, w-w-w-w-what would you have done? (You are nothing, you have nothing)
You could be no one (Without me)
[RILEY, CAIRO]
You are nothing, you have nothing
You are nothing, you have nothing
You are nothing, you have nothing
You are nothing, you have nothing
Without me
