lyrics

Sometimes I lie awake
Question my own mistakes
And how it would be if it was over
It kills me how the nights go by
And how hard she makes me hear you cry
But I still can't help but feel so helpless

And I want to help you so bad but I don't know how
And sometimes my job just feels undone
But you say that I do
Sometimes that's just so hard to believe
Because I can't help but feel so helpless
Because I can't help but feel so worthless

These thoughts won't stop coming to break down the wall
Telling me about what happens when we come to the fall
Every word that I say and how you it affects
But every last one is one I wanna reject
And you are just too good to throw it all away
Cause I thank God that you're with me everyday
But my nerves run a mile through the snow and the sleet
I guess these thoughts are from the dark side of my psyche

You deserve so much
Attention is what you need
But I just question if attention's good enough from me
Sorry if this comes off wrong
But I can only be speechless for so long
It hurts me when I don't know what to say

And I want to help you so bad but I don't know how
And sometimes my job just feels undone
But you say that I do
Sometimes that's just so hard to believe
Because I can't help but feel so helpless
Because I can't help but feel so pointless
