Help Yourself

When I walk in your shoes

I understand a man confused

They're much too big but I don't care

I feel the weight your shoulders bear

Now I really empathize

Looking through your bloodshot eyes

And I know you

You so frustrated

But we all become what we once hated

Besides, nobody can be that wise

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

If you won't help yourself, help yourself

No, I can't help you if you don't help yourself

Help yourself, no, no, no

You can only get so much from someone else

You can only get so much from me

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

You got a degree in philosophy

Philosophy

So you think you cleverer than me

'Cause you so smart

But I'm not just some drama queen

Drama queen

'Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been

So what do you expect from me?

What do you want?

To hold your head above the sea?

Keep you high and dry

And carry you, even though you bigger

'Cause don't you know? You crush my tiny figure

And anyway, we're still so young

Yeah, I'm so young

And this isn't yesterday

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

I can't help you

No, I can't help you if you don't help yourself

You won't help yourself

You can only get so much from someone else

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 old most the time

And I'm, I'm just a child, and you full grown

And it was like nothin' that I've ever known

You are like nothing that I ever knew
