Helpless
Peter Tvrznik
Blindsided torn from the shelf
Checked out, drawn in, and gone
Left my song at the door
Chasing your melody
Your eyes light up when I start to sing
Makes it hard for me to breathe
I am weak at the seams
I'm helpless
Your touch reminds me why we're here
Why this doesn't seem real
We can't trust ourselves
We're helpless
I swore that I'd stay a man
Who'd write songs to strangers in fall
Slowly my vow turned to ash
I'm breathing in your melody
Your eyes light up when I start to sing
Makes it hard for me to breathe
I am weak at the seams
I'm helpless
Your touch reminds me why we're here
Why this doesn't seem real
We can't trust ourselves
We're helpless
You held me when I lost my home
You kissed all the broken pieces
And though you're not sure which way to go
You keep running anyway
