There you go again like it's always been Starting things that you can't finish All of your wasted time just left me behind Waking up to find it's all ended Ooh, life has a way Ooh, of getting even I can't help you if you don't help yourself Stare at the burning sun and see if it blinds you I can't save you if you won't save yourself Stand in the lightning just to see how it strikes you On the highest wire strung between two towers You're twenty floors above my heartache And I try to break your fall, but it won't help at all Hit the ground, it's always me who feels the pain Ooh, life has a way Ooh, of getting even I can't help you if you don't help yourself Stare at the burning sun and see if it blinds you I can't save you if you don't save yourself Stand in the lightning just to see how it strikes you I can't help you if you don't help yourself Stare at the burning sun and see if it blinds you I can't save you if you don't save yourself Stand in the lightning just to see how it strikes you See how it strikes you
