Helpless

drove you home
took the long road just so I could
hear more of your voice
suddenly you said it all
helpless, so helpless
helpless, so helpless, helpless

first you walked out of her life
and then your own
did you best towards the end
but it didn't count
helpless, so helpless
helpless, so helpless, helpless

no prayer, no promise
I know it doesn't help
the sound of a train passing by
is all it takes
helpless, so helpless
helpless, so helpless, helpless
