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
Besides, nobody can be that wise
I can't help you if you won't help yourself (you can help yourself, help yourself)
No I can't help you if you don't help yourself (help yourself)
You can only get so much from someone yeah (can get so much from me)
I can't help you if you won't help yourself (you can help yourself)
You've got the degree in philosophy (philosophy)
So you think, you cleverer than me (cuz you so smart)
But I'm not just some drama queen (drama queen)
'Cuz 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 there are you, even though you're bigger
'Cuz 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 yet the day
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 can help yourself)
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 old most the time
And I'm, I'm just a child and you full grown
And there was like nothing that I've ever known
You- I like nothing that I ever knew
