Help Yourself lyrics

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 you
if you won't
help yourse...lf

I can't help you
if you don't
help yourse...lf

You can only
get so much
from someone else

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

You've got a degree
in philosophy
so you think
you're cleverer than me

But I'm not just
some drama queen
'cos 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
'cos don't you know
you crush my tiny figure

And anyway
we're still so 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 no I'm nothing like
I've ever known

You are like nothing
I have ever known
