Intro
Verse 1
When I walk in your shoes,
I understand a man confused.
There must have been, but I don't care,
I feel the way your soul does there.
Darling, they empathise,
Looking through your bloodshot eyes.
And I know you; you're so frustrated,
Besides we all become what we once hated.
Bridge 1
Be-sides, nobody, can be that wise.
Chorus 1
I can't help you,
If you won't help your-self.
I can't help you,
If you won't help your-self.
You can only get,
So much from someone else.
I can't help you,
If you won't help your-self.
Verse 2
You've got a degree, a-in philosophy,
So you think you're clever-er than me.
But I'm not just some drama queen,
'Cos it's where you're at; not where you've been.
So what do you ex-pect from me,
To hold your head a-bove the sea?
And carry you even though you're bigger,
'Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure?
Bridge 2
And anyway, we're still so young,
And this isn't yesterday.
Chorus 2
I can't help you,
If you won't help your-self.
I can't help you,
If you won't help your-self.
You can only get,
So much from someone else.
I can't help you,
If you won't help your-self.
Break
You might be twenty five, but in my mind,
I see you as sixteen years old most the time.
And I'm just a child, and you're full grown,
And you are like nothing I've ever known.
