I took a heavenly ride through our silence Where were you when I was burned and broken While the days slipped by from my window watching And where were you when I was hurt and I was helplesshelpless 'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me

Ain't funny how time Steals the feeling from a love affair And there's no place to lay the blame 'cos in any case, oh, no one cares Helplessly we just watched it fade away Neither will admit it Are we both aching to say. We, you, I miss the days when we

For your lights to shine on me For your song inside of me This we bring to you Here I stand so patiently In the shadow of love Time goes by leaving me helplesshelpless Just to reach and try To live my life These are my reasons

And I get caught up In the moonlight Reaching out for a rotten egg I don't wanna beg I hate to do this But you're a pain in the neck I thought you knew this You're handing me a canceled check You're so helplesshelpless

In the murder city But not hopeless I feel so useless But not helplesshelpless The clock strikes midnight We are the last call And it's too pathetic I'm wide awake

I'm as helplesshelpless as a kitten up a tree And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud I can't understand I get misty, holding your hand Walk my way And a thousand violins begin to play Or it might be the sound of your hello That music I hear

In the next life This time forever There'll be no more goodbyes 'Cause you left me helplesshelpless on the other side I'll find you there in the next life The sun is set, the rain has passed Who knew tomorrow wouldn't last I wear the cross that bares your name

I can't just preach, baby, preach If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope, I Can't just sit and pray, that I can find a love, when All I see is pain And heaven knows I'm not helplesshelpless, yeah I can't see the use in me crying
