Helpless
Watson Beasley Lyrics

Every day I walk some lonely street
I'm constantly wandering the streets in search of you.

Searchin' 'til you come back to me
Searching for the day when we'll finally be together again.

People around just stop and stare
Onlookers are aware of the pain I'm going through.

As if they know the hurt I bear
They seem to be aware of the burden that I'm carrying.

And suddenly I realize I'm cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'
My deep-seated sorrow takes over, and I'm unable to control my tears.

'Cause I'm in a helpless situation
I feel trapped in a situation that I cannot control.

And I need some consolation
I need someone to comfort me and offer me relief.

'Cause my mind is in a confusion
My thoughts are disordered, and I'm struggling to make sense of things.

And my heart feels much confusion
My feelings are in turmoil, and I'm having a hard time coping.

Since you've been gone it keeps me cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'
Ever since you left, I've been overwhelmed with sadness and sorrow.

In the shelter of your love my strength I found
When we were together, your love gave me the strength to carry on.

But now I'm useless, since you're not around
Without you, I feel powerless and ineffective.

Oh I'm helpless
I'm lost and need your help to find my way back.

Since I lost your love
Since you left my life, I've been struggling to cope.

Helpless
I'm unable to help myself and need support.

'Cause now I need your love
I need you to love me and support me to get through this rough patch.

I never needed no one before
I've always been an independent person.

But now I need you more and more
But now, after losing you, I need you more than ever.

Ever since you've been gone it keeps me cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'
You leaving me has caused me endless heartache.

I'm helpless 'til you come back to me
I'm completely dependent on you to come back into my life and make things right.

Helpless in this world of grieve
I feel like I'm drowning in sadness and unable to cope with the world around me.

I need your words of confidence
I need your encouragement to keep hope alive.

I need those happy times we spent
I need you to help me remember the good times we shared together.

I'm in a hopeless feel confusion
I feel like there's no way out of this desperate situation.

And your love is your solution
The only way out of this despair is for you to come back into my life and offer your love and support.

It's my fault
I take full responsibility for the situation and the role I played in it.

And I won't search for you no longer
I won't keep looking for you because I realize that I need to accept the situation and move on.

As I go home alone
I go back to an empty house, alone and without hope for the future.

Needing you to stop
I desperately need you to come back into my life to help heal my broken heart.

And I'm having these strange illusions
I'm experiencing some weird thoughts and feelings that are hard to make sense of.

Loneliness deep inside keeps me cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'
My deep-seated loneliness is the underlying cause of all my tears and heartache.

In a helpless situation
I'm in a position where I'm unable to help myself and require outside assistance.

And I need your consolation
I need you to provide me with comfort and support to help me get through this tough time.

And I'm having these strange illusions
I'm experiencing some weird thoughts and feelings that are hard to make sense of.
