When I walk in your shoes
|
I understand a man confused
|
There must have been 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
|
Above we all become what we once hated
|
Besides nobody can be that wise
|
|
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
|
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
|
You can only get so much from someone else
|
You can get so much from me
|
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
|
|
You've got a degree in philosophy (philosophy)
|
So you think you're cleverer than me (Yeah you so smart)
|
But I'm not just some drama queen (drama queen)
|
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been
|
So what do you expect from me (what do you want from me)
|
To hold your head above the sea (keep you high and dry)
|
And carry you even though you're bigger
|
Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure
|
And anyway we're still so young (yeah I'm still young)
|
And this isn't yesterday
|
|
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
|
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
|
You can only get so much from someone else
|
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
|
|
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're full grown
|
And it was like nothing that I've ever known
|
You are like nothing that I ever knew
|
