Helpless
Flirts The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk away - you came into my life and then you run away
Is there nothing I can do to try and make you stay?
I can see you in the arms of another girl

You shattered my world.
Suddenly I'm not half the woman that I used to be

All I have is memories -
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love

You took my love and left me helpless - helpless.
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love

You took my love and left me helpless - helpless.
All alone - we had it too together
Now I'm all alone.
I shared a life with you and now I don't belong.
I'll have to start a new life on my own

But I'm not that strong.
Suddenly I'm not half the woman that I used to be

Now all I have to hold on to is memories.
I just cannot imagine there is treachery

All I have is memories.
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
...
Suddenly I'm not half the woman that I used to be

All I have is memories -
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
...
Helpless - you took my love
You took my love

You took my love and left me helpless.
You left me helpless
Oh
You leff me helpless

Oh
You left me helpless
Helpless
Helpless





You took my love
You took my love and left me helpless...

"¡ Ah !"
(Octavilla regia)
Tres poemas al hilo y el cuarto ¡ Ah !
Significa : ¡ Existo y desde ha !
Cada vena, poro y nervio.
¡ Cuanto emociona mi cuerpo !
En mil rutas de mis pasos,
mi norte siempre en tus manos;
pues, no tengo adónde màs ir.
¡ Nadie màs por ser felíz !
