Helpless

Trying to win an endless race

Wipe the tears back from your porcelain face

Sometimes I'm finding it harder to learn

The pain and the faith that I can't discern

I see some sunlight through the trees

Off in the shadows, you're still on your knees

I know that I can't change the things that they've done

And you'll never change for anyone

Could you breathe out?

Just for once

Trying to leave this empty space

But the lines have been tapped and the ending's replaced

If I reached for your hand would you be prepared?

I've been reaching for you, but you're never there

Could you breathe in and out?

Just for once

Could you breathe in and out?

And then be done

Now I'm helpless tonight

I'm helpless tonight

There's gotta be some light

There's gotta be some light

There's gotta be some light

There's gotta be some light

But I'm helpless tonight

I'm helpless tonight

Could you breathe in and out?

Just for once

Could you breathe in and out?

And then be done

And then be done

And then be done
