I Can't Help You

I used to look at other families

I used to think that I was crazy

That there was something wrong with me

The reason that you didn't want me

And now that we have both got older

And after all the lies you told me

I can see it's you who has the work to do

And I can be proud of me

But I can't help you

I've been running out of reasons

To believe you

And you keep falling on your sword

So I'll forgive you

And that we're running out of time

Is not enough to make you want to change

I used to wish I knew another

Who had the time to be my shelter

Who said the things I needed

When I was bleeding

For a deep connection

I wish that I could let it all go

I wish I didn't need to wade through

And though it doesn't make any sense

There's a wasteland between us

I still long to reach you

But I can't help you

I've been running out of reasons

To believe you

And you keep falling on your sword

So I'll forgive you

And that we're running out of time

Is not enough to make you want to change

So we go our separate ways

It's not enough to make you want to change

There's a child inside who's

Screaming for your loving arms

For somebody who would die

To keep me safe from harm

But I've been thrown over the side

To save your face too many times

And though I've tried to…

I can't help you

I've been running out of reasons

To believe you

And you keep falling on your sword

So I'll forgive you

And that we're running out of time

Is not enough to make you want to change

So we go our separate ways

Not enough to make you want to change

At all…

I'm not enough to make you want to change
