Helpless
Colin Blunstone/Rod Argent Lyrics

I can't seem to get through to you
Despite my efforts, I just cannot seem to get my point across to you.

Being different and human too
My unique perspective as a human being is complicating our ability to connect.

Leaves you helpless
The situation is so difficult that it makes you feel completely powerless.

Helpless, so helpless
I feel the same way, completely helpless in the face of this challenge.

I just want to communicate
All I really want is to be able to express myself and connect with you.

I try so hard but my tongue frustrates
Despite my best efforts, I struggle to express myself effectively with words.

I need to feel some affection
If you show me some compassion and understanding, I will be able to maintain my composure.

If I'm to keep my control
Without emotional support, I may lose my ability to cope with the situation.

Lead me a step in the right direction
If you can help me navigate this challenge, I will be eternally grateful.

I'll reward you with
In return for your help, I will offer you something valuable.

My heart and my soul
I will give you all of my love and passion if you can just help me through this difficult moment.

My hands are shaking
My body is reacting to the stress I am feeling with physical symptoms like shaking hands.

My knees getting weak
I feel physically weak and unable to support myself because of the overwhelming emotions I am experiencing.

Can't seem to stand on my own two feet
I feel so lost and helpless that I can't even maintain my own sense of balance and stability.

Within my world
In my unique experience and perspective on life,

A different space
I occupy a different emotional and mental space than you.

A different language
Our communication styles and ways of expressing ourselves are fundamentally different.

Leaves me helpless
This divide is causing me to feel hopeless and powerless to bridge the gap.

And though you talk to me
Even when you are communicating with me,

I can't communicate
I still struggle to express myself and get my point across to you.

I get so helpless
This feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness is so overwhelming and all-consuming for me.

Inside I'm reaching out
Internally, I am desperate for connection and support from you,

My words are wrong
But I continue to struggle to express myself in a way that effectively conveys my emotions.

It makes me shout
The frustration of this communication failure is so intense that I want to scream or yell.

No matter how I try I just can't get through
Despite my best efforts and sincere desire to connect, I cannot seem to break through this barrier between us.

(And you know I will someday
Despite this difficulty,

Yes, I know I will someway)
I remain optimistic that someday, somehow, I will be able to communicate effectively with you.

I wanna communicate
Above all, I long to be able to communicate my thoughts, emotions, and needs to you.

Try, try so hard bur my tongue frustrates
Even though I am trying my best,

I just wanna get through to you
The fact that I cannot seem to connect and communicate with you is causing me immense pain and distress.
