I need a shoulder to cry on A helping hand in my times of despair When it's too much I'll rely on you Cos it's so much colder when there's nobody there I've wondered off my beaten track Now I'm heading for my next relapse And everything I thought was real Has gone away from me I've only got myself to blame this time I always question why Why do I act so fake with every choice I make When will I find myself I need a shoulder to cry on A helping hand in my times of despair When it's too much I'll rely on you Cos it's so much colder when there's nobody there You've told me once too many times If I continue you'll leave me behind Unless I change what I've become In the morning you'll be gone You'll be gone I need a shoulder to cry on A helping hand in my times of despair When it's too much I'll rely on you Cos it's so much colder when there's nobody there I just can't understand it When I catch my own reflection And the backdrop is still my Hometown Nothing's changed nothing's grown I'm still here How many years must I wait for change How many plans must I bend and break But this is it my final stand I'll start a brand new life Now the world is in the palm of my hand I need a shoulder to cry on A helping hand in my times of despair When it's too much I'll rely on you Cos it's so much colder when there's nobody there I'll never know a better way...
