Lyrics

Helpless

[Verse 1]

The same drink that gets me out the door

Is the same drink that puts me on the floor

And the new thing I wanna try some more

Is the same mistake I used to make before

[Chorus]

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out

[Verse 2]

The same brain that brings me ecstacy

Is the same pain that gets the best of me

And the one I love the most just said to me

A broken heart is all I'll ever be

[Chorus]

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out

[Bridge]

Help me

Help me

Help me

[Chorus]

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out

If I'm helpless

If I'm helpless

If I'm helpless

Then I'll stop trying to figure it out
