Can't Help Me Now

Sunlight falls heavy
Can't hide, you’re awake already
Long night, you're unsteady
You don't even wanna be here, do you?
Cry out, not for the last time
It’s funny how a word might save your life
And I'm saying a lot right now

But I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna be here, be here now
There's a bad taste in my mouth
I stumble in the dark, tripping on a heart
It's gonna leave a mark, maybe we can stay and wait it out
You’re the one that talks me down
And even you can’t help me now
Even you can't help me now

Headlight, dark highway
Drive on, but it feels all sideways
No signs, I’m a headcase
I'm alone, but I feel you, feel you now
Head down, I can't remember
If we left on a start or an ender
You and I, we're so worn down

But I don’t wanna fight, I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna be here, be here now
Like a bad taste in my mouth
I stumble in the dark, tripping on a heart
It's gonna leave a mark, maybe we can stay and wait it out
You're the one that talks me down
Even you can't help me now

And we fall, and we break
And we turn our inside out
And we're lost in a daze
For days and days and days and now
But I thought that I could turn it around

But I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna leave, but I don't wanna be here, be here now
There's a bad taste in my mouth
Hey I stumble in the dark, tripping on a heart
It's gonna leave a mark, maybe we can stay and wait it out
You're the one that talks me down
And even you can't help me now (Sunlight falls heavy)
Even you can't help me now (Sunlight falls heavy)
Baby, even you can't help me now (Sunlight falls heavy)
Even you can't help me now
