Help
Spencer Sutherland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The toxic one

Been some time, baby, it's been a minute, I
Four years, I only listened to myself
But now I need help

It's okay, I think it's kinda funny that
Things change when you get some money for yourself
But I just need help

I've lost track of who I am
Who I'm supposed to be
I need help, help
I can't tell nobody I'm going through hell
I need help, help
And I wish I could, but can't be someone else
(I need, I need, I need, I need, I need help)

I'm not too proud to say I'm in need of saving
I'd open my mouth, but I'd just get in the way of myself
But I just need help

I've just been walking circles (yeah)
I've just been talking to myself, to myself
I need help, help

I can't tell nobody I'm going through hell
I need help, help
And I wish I could, but can't be someone else

I've lost track of who I am
Who I'm supposed to be
Tried my best to understand
What you want from me

I need help, help
I can't tell nobody I'm going through hell
I need help, help (I need help)




And I wish I could, but can't be someone else
I need help, help
