When I walk in your shoes I understand a man confused They 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're 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 I can't help you if you won't help yourself You can only get so much from someone else I can't help you if you don'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
Cause 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 Cause 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 you if you won't help yourself I can't help you if you won't help yourself You can only get so much from someone else I can't help you if you don't help yourself
You might be twenty-five but in my mind I see you as sixteen years old most the time And I'm just a child and you're full grown And no I like nothing I've ever known yeah I'm nothing like I've ever knew.
