Lyrics

When I think of you it bring tears to my eyes

Reflecting on thoughts of you brings tears to my eyes.

When I think of you it hurts me down inside

The contemplation of you is emotionally painful.

When I think of you it always makes me cry

Thinking about you consistently leads to tears.


There is no tomorrow

Expressing a bleak outlook with the idea that there's no future.

And it's hard to live today

Life is challenging and difficult to navigate at present.

You brought me so much sorrow

You have caused a significant amount of grief.

This is all I got to say

This is the message I have to convey about the pain you've caused.


You can help someone who's not

It is possible to assist someone who is unwilling to help themselves.

Willing to help himself

An acknowledgment of the difficulty in aiding someone resistant to self-help.

You can try but you just might lose your mind

Attempting to help others might lead to losing one's own sanity.

You can help someone who's not

Similar to line 10, emphasizing the challenge of assisting those unwilling to help themselves.

Willing to help himself

Reiteration of the difficulty in aiding those who resist self-improvement.

You can try but you just

Emphasizing the effort involved in trying to help, but it may be futile.

Might waste your time there is no tomorrow

Reiterating the bleak perspective on the future and the challenges of the present.

And it's hard to live today

Life is currently hard to navigate and filled with challenges.

You brought me so much sorrow

Attributing a significant amount of sorrow to the person being addressed.

This is all I got to say

Summarizing the message as expressing the pain and sorrow caused by the person in question.


You can help someone who's not

Repetition of the idea that assistance can be offered to those unwilling to help themselves.

Willing to help themselves you can try

Stressing the difficulty in aiding someone who is resistant to self-help.

But you just might waste your time

Emphasizing the potential for wasting time in attempting to help others.
