I want you to take what you want from this track, so I am not going to say what I wrote it about. It is a blank slate for you to fill in.
lyrics
Sometimes I think that you’ve forsaken me
And it’s taken me this long to realize
I go along and you just lie to me
Lie to me to bring me comfort
But somehow I know you’ll pick me up
When I’ve hit my rock at the bottom
I guess you wouldn’t let me die down there
You’ll bring me up for air when you want to
And I’m helpless again, helpless again
Lying weightless in your arms, I’m helpless again
I’m trying not to take it literally
I just try to see some good in you
But when you show me that it’s all for not,
You can break my heart with just a whisper
And I’m helpless again, helpless again
Lying weightless in your arms, I’m helpless again
I will fight you ‘til the bitter end
When you take my hand and lead me over
‘Cause all is fair in this love and war
And you love me for it anyway
And I’m helpless again, helpless again
Lying weightless in your arms, I’m helpless again
