[Verse 1]

Why can't you see I'm just no good at these things?

I want to love you like the man I'm supposed to be

But you don't mean these conversations get boring

The fake, pathetic workings like consistency

[Pre-Chorus]

You turn and ask me

Why don't you hold me baby, oh oh baby

My cool is melting away and I'm making a mess

You can't see me like this

[Chorus]

Helpless, helpless

What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you

[Verse 2]

Leave me alone I know I'm not making sense

But I know I can't let you come any closer

It's my security, it's my self-defense

I keep on doing all this over and over

[Pre-Chorus]

You turn and ask me

Just get to know me baby, oh oh baby

I turn away and pretend that I'm doing just fine

But you're inside my mind

[Chorus]

And I'm helpless, helpless

What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you

[Bridge]

I'm caught in the way we talk

I'm never good enough

Your love's like a wrecking ball and I don't want to break apart

Break apart, oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]

Helpless, helpless

What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you

Helpless, helpless (I'm helpless, I'm helpless)

What makes my wounded heart feel like this? (I'm helpless, I'm helpless)

Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you

When it comes to you
