Helpless
fraNcis. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You showed me how to live my life
You pulled me from my darkest side
Alone

Seeing you maybe something
But losing you may be a curse on me

If you can't find some hidden meanings
Then I won't stop you from pretending
Then I'll show you what it means to be

I know it's hard to stop pretending
And you may feel a little tired
And I'll show you all of the world

You don't have to make me feel so helpless
You don't even need to feel alone
To feel alone
If you can't stop, just stop pretending
We just need those kinds of things to go
Those things to go

You don't have to waste yourself no
It's my turn to give you some clarity

I'll show you some of the beginnings
That may give you some perfect meanings
So don't give up, and take my hand

You don't have to make me feel so helpless
You don't even need to feel alone
To feel alone
If you can't stop, just stop pretending
We just need those kinds of things to go
Those things to go

You don't have to make me feel so helpless
You don't even need to feel alone
To feel alone
If you can't stop, just stop pretending




We just need those kinds of things to go
Those things to go
