Underneath the bridges
Through the open woods
Traveled far and wide but
Never understood
Dodged a thousand fires
Bullied by the trees
Trying to discover
What's inside of me
And you say, "Why?" You say, "Why?"
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
Beautiful and tragic
Torn, to say the least
Which one of these wolves here
Will I choose to feed?
Always just beginning
Testing out my luck
Sure that I'm not finished
Fucking this thing up
And you say, "Why?" You say, "Why?"
I can't just help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
And it's true, no, I can't help it
Oh, I'm helpless, oh
Darling, I can't help it, even if I tried
I can't help it, oh, I'm helpless
You are like an anchor
Not a ball and chain
Me, I'm like a bird that
Always flies away
You say, "Why?" You say, "Why?"
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't
