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 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
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 a degree a 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 there are 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 yet the day

I can't help you if you won't help yourself
I can't help you if you don't help yourself
Yo can help so, 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 or most of the time
And I'm, I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I find nothing like I've ever known yeah
I like nothing that I ever do
