Helpless

Vers 1
Got me intoxicated
But you came with a warning
Babe i feel you fading
When i wake in the morning

Know that i tried to ignore it
But keep falling into you
Keep falling into you

Pre Chorus
I been down this road before
Your making me confess
That maybe im helpless

And i shouldn't do much more
I know that im wreck less
Maybe i am helpless

Chorus
Your making me confess
That maybe im helpless
I know that im wreck less
Maybe i am helpless

Vers 2
Babe your in my system
And i am feeling so beautiful
Feel you flowing inside me
Everything is so colorful

If i could i would stop it
But i keep falling into you
Keep falling into you

Pre Chorus
I been down this road before
Your making me confess
That maybe im helpless

And i shouldn't do much more
I know that im wreck less
Maybe i am helpless

Chorus
Your making me confess
That maybe im helpless
I know that im wreck less
Maybe i am helpless

Bridge
I been down this road before
Your making me confess
That maybe im helpless

And i shouldn't do much more
I know that im wreck less
Maybe i am helpless

Chorus
Your making me confess
That maybe im helpless

I know that im wreck less
Maybe i am helpless

Got me intoxicated
You have an effect on me that feels like being intoxicated

But you came with a warning
You warned me about yourself, but I still got drawn to you

Babe i feel you fading
I sense that you're slowly slipping away from me

When i wake in the morning
I feel the absence of you every time I wake up

Know that i tried to ignore it
I attempted to disregard my feelings for you

But keep falling into you
But I keep getting attracted to you

I been down this road before
This situation is familiar to me

Your making me confess
You're causing me to admit my feelings

That maybe im helpless
