helpless

Verse 1

It's kinda funny, how nothin' ever goes right

It's all a big joke, and I guess I never got the punchline

I know I'm lucky, I got the sun and the skyline

But still, sometimes it feels like I'd be better off blind

Pre-Chorus

It's been like this for a while now

I try to change, but I just can't seem to smile now

I'd ask for help, but I don't know who to dial now

Chorus

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop it, but I'm still in it

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop, 'cause I'm still in it

Verse 2

I wanna get up, but I just can't find the energy

I'm lookin' in the mirror like, "Why the hell is this happenin' to me?"

I got a good job, and I got a pretty good family

So why's this voice in my head always stressin' me?

Pre-Chorus

It's been like this for a while now

I tried a therapist, but he just can't seem to dial now

I'm so used to it, I can't even deny now

Chorus

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop it, but I'm still in it

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop, 'cause I'm still in it

Bridge

I just want some help, but I'm too scared to ask

I guess I'll just deal with it and hope it will pass

I just want some help, but I'm too scared to ask

I guess I'll just deal with it and hope it will pass

Chorus

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop it, but I'm still in it

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop, 'cause I'm still in it

Outro

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Verse 3

I made a list of all the things that I could try

Talked to a doctor, took the pills, and still I wanna cry

Called up my mom, said I'm fine, then I hung up the line

I've done the work, I've read the books, I've given it my time

Pre-Chorus

It's been like this for a while now

I keep reachin' out, but I keep sinkin' down somehow

Everybody says it gets better, but I don't know how

Chorus

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop it, but I'm still in it

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop, 'cause I'm still in it

Verse 4

I tried the breathing, tried the journal, tried the long walks

Tried bein' honest with the people that I talk to

They nod their heads and say they get it, but they don't

I'm screamin' underwater and they hear a whisper, so I don't

Pre-Chorus

It's been like this for a while now

I've tried a hundred different ways, and I'm still down

Maybe this is just the shape of me now

Chorus

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop it, but I'm still in it

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop, 'cause I'm still in it

Bridge 2

I did everything they told me, every single thing

And I'm still here in the same room, waitin' for the ring

I did everything they told me, and it didn't take

So I guess I'll just keep goin' for my own sake

Outro

Helpless, can't seem to fix it

Can't seem to stop, 'cause I'm still in it

Still in it

Still in it

End
