Testo 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 bare

Now I really empathize
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you, you're so frustrated About how we all become what we once hated
Besides nobody can be that wise

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone else
You can only get so much from me
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

You've got the degree in philosophy
So you think you're cleverer than me (you so smart)
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 (keep you high and dry)
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 (yeah I'm so young)
And this isn't yesterday

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone else
I can't help ya 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, I'm just a child and you're full grown
And you are like nothing that I've ever known yeah
You are like nothing that I ever knew
