When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
There must to be but I don't care
I feel the way your soul does there
Darling they empathise
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 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 yeah
You can only get so much from me
I can't help ya 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 dumb 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 carry you even you know you're bigger
Cos don't you know you push my tiny figure
And anyway we're still so young
And this isn't yet the day

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 yeah
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 almost the time
And I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I'm like nothing that I've ever known yeah
you're like nothing that I've ever known
