[Verse 1]

Does it scare you, how I found you out?

Came out breathing after weight of doubt, and

Thought I was crazy and maybe I was

To keep on begging you to give me love

[Chorus]

When you can't, oh, help yourself

No one else will help you out of this

If you can't, oh, help yourself

No one else will help you out of this mess

[Verse 2]

What do you love if you don't love yourself?

Put all your darkness into someone else

You're just waiting for it all to end

And it gets bitter in the end, my friend

[Chorus]

If you can't, oh, help yourself

No one else will help you out of this

If you can't, oh, help yourself

No one else is gonna fall for this

[Bridge]

Oh, and loving you won't make it better

When nothing I try is good enough

Oh, loving you won't make it better

Let's drain it until there's nothing left

[Verse 3]

Yeah, I loved you, yeah, I loved you real

Loved the human under shades of steel, but

But I can no longer tread on shells

Not jumping in, I've got to save myself

[Chorus]

And you can't help yourself

To my kindness and confidence

And you can't, oh, help yourself

To my life and what I've made of it

And you can't help yourself

No one else is gonna fall for this

[Bridge]

Oh, and loving you won't make it better

When nothing I try is good enough

Oh, loving you won't make it better

Let's drain it until there's nothing left

[Outro]

If you can't help yourself

If you can't, oh, help yourself

No one else is gonna fall for this
