Help Yourself

[Verse 1]

When I walk in your shoes

I understand a man confused

They much too big, but I don't care

I feel the weight your shoulders bear

Now I really empathise

Looking through your bloodshot eyes

And I know you, you're so frustrated

But we all become what we once hated

Besides, nobody can be that wise

[Chorus]

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (Help yourself, help yourself)

I can't help you if you don't help yourself (Help yourself, no, no, no)

You can only get so much from someone else (You can only get so much from me)

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (You won't help yourself)

[Verse 2]

You got a degree in philosophy (Philosophy)

So you  think you clever-er than me ('Cause you so smart)

But I'm not just some drama queen (Drama queen)

'Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been

So, what do you expect from me? (What do you want?)

To hold your head above the sea? (Keep you high and dry)

And carry you, even though you bigger

'Cause don't you know you crush my tiny figure?

And, anyway, we still so young (Yeah, I'm so young)

And this isn't yesterday

[Chorus]

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (I can't help you)

No, I can't help you if you don't help yourself (You won't help yourself)

You can only get so much from someone else

I can't help you if you won't help yourself

[Verse 3]

You might be twenty-five, but in my mind

I see you at sixteen years old most the time

And I, I'm just a child and you full grown

And it was like nothing that I've ever known

You are like nothing that I ever knew
