Being desperate
It's so revealing of what things really mean
It can give you a chance to recall the wonderful
When you could say to those with fearful hearts
"Be strong"

Life seems to interrogate itself
It shouldn't surprise you
You might never know the necessities
And I could never know what makes the world to you
There is someone who know what means the world to you

This could be the opportunity
The stakes are high, and the past doesn't change
The future is left for you to build
So often it can be too fast, too late
And poetic justice leaves no room for the helpless

WILL
THE WORDS 
RING [bad word] 

We were never meant to be alone, so helpless

And 
WE 
WERE NEVER 
MEANT TO FEEL
SO HELPLESS
