When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
They much too big but I don´t care
I feel the weight your shoulders bear
Now i really empathize
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you you´re so frustrated
but we all become what we once hated
Besides nobody can be that wise

I can´t help you if you won´t help yourself
I can´t help you if you won´t help yourself
You can only get so much from someone else
I can´t help you if you don´t help yourself

You´ve got a degree in philosophy
So you think you´re cleverer than me
But I´m not just some drama queen

Cause it´s where you´re at not where you´ve been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head above the sea
And carry you even though you´re bigger
Cause don´t you know you crush my tiny figure
And anyway we´re still so young
And this isn´t yesterday

I can´t help you if you won´t help yourself
I can´t help you if you won´t help yourself
You can only get so much from someone else
I can´t help you if you don´t help yourself

You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you as sixteen years old most the time
And I´m just a child and you´re full grown
And no I like nothing I´ve ever known yeah
I´m nothing like I´ve ever knew.
