Helpless
Backstreet Boys feat. Pitbull | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She keeps her secrets
In her eyes
She wraps the truth
Inside her lies
Just when I can't say
What she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise

She's so hard to hold
But I can't let go

I'm a house of cards
In a hurricane
A reckless ride
In the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain
Is all I wanna feel
She tears away just like a child
She drives me crazy
Drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles

Oh when she smiles

Maybe I'd fight if I could
It hurts so bad
But feels so good
She opens up just like
A rose to me
When she's close to me
Anything she'd ask me to
I would

It's out of control
But I can't let go

I'm a house of cards
In a hurricane
A reckless ride
In the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain
Is all I wanna feel
She tears away just like a child
She drives me crazy
Drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles

When she looks at me
I get so weak

I'm a house of cards
In a hurricane
A reckless ride
In the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain
Is all I wanna feel
She tears away just like a child
She drives me crazy




Drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles

Line by Line Meaning

She keeps her secrets
She doesn't reveal her true feelings or thoughts


In her eyes
However, you can see it all in her eyes


She wraps the truth
She conceals her honest feelings


Inside her lies
And covers it up with falsehoods


Just when I can't say
When I am at a loss for words


What she's done to me
To explain or describe how she has affected me


She comes to me
She will come and comfort me


And leads me back to paradise
And I'll be taken back to the good times


She's so hard to hold
She's difficult to keep close


But I can't let go
But I cannot completely distance myself from her


I'm a house of cards
I'm unstable and fragile


In a hurricane
In the midst of chaos and turmoil


A reckless ride
A situation that is out of control


In the pouring rain
During tough times


She cuts me and the pain
She'll hurt me emotionally


Is all I wanna feel
But I keep coming back for more because it's addictive


She tears away just like a child
She can leave suddenly like a child throwing a tantrum


She drives me crazy
She makes me feel like I'm going insane


Drives me wild
She stirs up intense emotions in me


But I'm helpless when she smiles
But I can't resist her when she looks at me and smiles


Maybe I'd fight if I could
If only I had the willpower to resist her


It hurts so bad
Because staying with her is painful


But feels so good
But I can't help wanting to be with her


She opens up just like
When we're together, she reveals herself fully


A rose to me
Like a flower that blooms in front of me


When she's close to me
When she's near me


Anything she'd ask me to
No matter what she asks of me


I would
I'll do it


When she looks at me
When she gazes into my eyes


I get so weak
I feel powerless

Helpless

Helpless
I wake up every morning and see your face
lying right beside me it fills the space
in my heart
I can't live without you
don't wanna figure right how to
and everytime I lay my head down to sleep
the emptiness inside of me starts to beat
so loud
I can't hear the sound
do you hear it?
for you

Refrain
I fall in love all over again
each time
I lay my eyes on you
I pretend
I feel so helpless
without you
feel so helpless
without you
It takes a piece of me
each time you leave
I feel it in my chest
so hard to breathe
I feel so helpless
without you
I feel so helpless
without you

I witness every trick you got up your sleeve
but still somehow you keep on surprising me
I'm yours
I can't live without you
Don't wanna figure right how to
Every time I see you I feel like I
could be the luckiest man in the world
Why try to fight it
There's no need to hide it
because
you know

Refrain
I fall in love all over again
each time
I lay my eyes on you
I pretend
I feel so helpless
without you
feel so helpless
without you
It takes a piece of me
each time you leave
I feel it in my chest
so hard to breathe
I feel so helpless
without you
I feel so helpless
without you

Feels like
I fall apart
every time
Where do I start
I'm so helpless
without you
without you

Pitbull:
Everytime I close my eyes
you're the first thing that runs to my mind
Everywhere I go
I see you
hear you
feel you
I just wanna be near you
and heal? you
Last thing you said is how dare you
First thing I said is I'm sorry
Now I'm sitting here
helpless man
Same old story
Now she's brokenhearted
Time heals all the wounds
She said
Not this time
It's true
Everyone plays a fool
And that fool is me
Because I foolishly
took advantage of a woman who loved me

refrain
