I Really Want to Help You

Broken glass lines the streets and sparkles one by one A beautiful distraction created by the sun If only I could mould these thoughts to boney fists of rage Instead I disregard them all and I try to act my age I really want to help you let you feel free But I haven't much hope left and I'm saving it for me... my friend The stories that you tell me I already know Eroding like the shorelines of Lake Ontario It's true that if I walk away I'll end up right here The duct tape holds the water out but does nothing for the fear I really want to help you let you feel free But I haven't much hope left and I'm saving it for me I really want to help you if only you could see That I haven't much time left I'm so sorry Instead of feeling guilty I'll tie the loose ends To every word I say to you I can only hope it mends Soon these hours turn to days like all the years before And everything accumulates that we chose to ignore I really want to help you let you feel free But I haven't much hope left and I'm saving it for me I really want to help you if only you could see That I haven't much time left I'm so sorry... I'm sorry
