"Help Yourself" lyrics

Help Yourself

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 empathize
Looking through
Your bloodshot eyes
And I know you
You're so frustrated
Above we all become
What we once hated
Be slight
Nobody can be that wise

I can't help you
If you won't help yourself
No I can't help you
If you don't help yourself
You can only
Get so much from someone yeah
You can get so much from me
I can't help you
If you won't help yourself

You've got the degree
In philosophy
So you think
You're cleverer than me
But I'm not just
Some drama queen
Cause it's where you're at
Not where you've been

So what do you
Expect from me
To hold your head
Above the sea
And carry you
Even though you're bigger
Cause don't you know
You crush my tiny figure
And anyway
We're still so young
And this isn't yet the day

I can't help you
If you won't help yourself
No I can't help you
If you don't help yourself
You can only
Get so much from someone yeah
I can't help you
If you won't help yourself

You might be twenty-five
But in my mind
I see you at sixteen years
Oh most of the time
And I'm, I'm just a child
And you're full grown
And no I'm nothing
Like I've ever known yeah
You are like nothing that I ever knew
