Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like everytime we piece it back together it just come unglued
And you, Leave me in a mess and leave me so confused
Should I walk away and break my heart
But it always comes back to you
Cause I really Can't see me holdin nobody else
And I really can't see you Lovin nobody else
Knowing that will fall right back
Do we talk it out
Go head and walk it out
Cause it comes down to the fact that I'm just
Helpless
When it comes to lovin you
I'm just Helpless
With the things you put me through
I don't wanna do this if we can't do it right
When all I do is crawl back to ya after we fight
I'm Helpless
Over you over you over you
Baby you should know that this ain't easy now
I'm a simple man with a simple plan
You complicated that some how-so complicated
I know I'm gone regret what I'm about to do
And I know there's gona be sometimes
I'll wanna get back with you
Cause I really Can't see me holdin nobody else
And I really can't see you Lovin nobody else
So do we stick it out even when in doubt
Knowing that will fall right back
Do we talk it out
Go head and walk it out
Cause it comes down to the fact that I'm just
Helpless
When it comes to lovin you
I'm just Helpless
With the things you put me through
I don't wanna do this if we can't do it right
When all I do is crawl back to ya after we fight
I'm Helpless
Over you over you over you
If this is how it's gona be then I'm out this time
I'm out this time baby for sure
(Repeat)
U know that I can't keep running back
Been running back way to long
Till I don't think about me without you
Might take the grey goose to get me through
Cause I really Can't see me holdin nobody else
And I really can't see you Lovin nobody else
So do we stick it out even when in doubt
Knowing that will fall right back
Do we talk it out
Go head and walk it out
Cause it comes down to the fact that I'm just
Helpless
When it comes to lovin you
I'm just Helpless
With the things you put me through
I don't wanna do this if we can't do it right
When all I do is crawl back to ya after we fight
I'm Helpless
Over you over you over you
