Help Yourself
Navigating Love's Unraveling: Help Yourself Unveiled
Lyrics
When we met we still had innocence
When we first met, we still possessed innocence.
And we did things 'cause they made sense
We engaged in activities because they made sense.
Without trying hard I made it final
Effortlessly, I brought it to an end.
And we conceived our children on backseat vinyl
We conceived our children in the backseat on vinyl records.
Though we didn't have a lot
Despite not having much, one was quickly acquired.
(But) one was quickly bought
(But) we built something we believed was solid.
Then we buit upon this ground something we thought was sound
We constructed on this foundation, thinking it was stable.
But in reality was silence
But in reality, it was silence.
I can't tell you why it all breaks down
I cannot explain why everything falls apart.
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around
Do not inquire why I am no longer present.
I only picked up your story knowing you were lying
I got involved in your narrative, aware you were untruthful.
Don't ask me for advice
Do not seek my guidance.
You'll have to learn to help yourself
You must learn to help yourself.
When I look back now I plainly see
Looking back, I see the misery, though you may disagree.
The misery I'm sure you don't agree
The consequences of those peaceful years include broken items and arguments.
And all the products of those peaceful years
Reflecting on the products of those years.
The broken plates and glasses and the shouting hurt my ears
Broken plates and glasses, and the shouting was distressing.
Sometimes I wish I was asleep
Sometimes I wish I were asleep.
And you were just another sheep
And you were just another person, not causing distress.
And when we finally fell apart
When we finally separated, you were left with the burden.
You were left holding the cart
Despite your belief that I promised to push it.
Though you thought I'd said I'd push it
I cannot explain why everything falls apart.
I can't tell you why it all breaks down
Do not inquire why I am no longer present.
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around
I keep dropping hints, but they are ignored.
I keep dropping those hints but they never touched the ground
I am useless to you now.
I'm useless to you now
You must learn to help yourself.
You'll have to learn yourself to help yourself
This situation was not part of my plan; it became complicated.
I had never planned on this being so complicated
You never anticipated our separation.
You had never planned on us being so separated
Time will heal the wounds of spiteful words.
The spiteful words will heal with time
Eventually, they will rhyme.
Eventually they rhyme
You can forget, but forgiveness is difficult because I still exist.
You can forget but not forgive the fact that I still live
I never wanted you to give in.
And never wanted you to give... in
I cannot explain why everything falls apart.
I can't tell you why it all breaks down
Do not inquire why I am no longer present.
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around
You were not content with me being only superhuman.
You weren't satisfied I was only superhuman
Do not ask me for advice.
Don't ask me for advice
You must learn to help yourself.
You'll have to learn to help...
I cannot explain why everything falls apart.
I can't tell you why it all breaks down
Do not inquire why I am no longer present.
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around
I could only endure sitting here for so long.
Well I could only stand sitting here so long
You do not require my assistance.
You don't need my help
You must learn to help yourself.
You'll have to learn to help yourself
