When I walk in your shoes 
I understand a man confused 
There must have been but I don't care 
I feel the way your soul does there 
Darling they empathise 
Looking through your bloodshot eyes 
And I know you you're so [bad word] 
Above we all [bad word] what we once hated 
Be slight nobody can be that wise 

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself 
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself 
You can only get so much from someone yeah 
You can get so much from me 
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself 

You've got a degree a in philosophy 
So you think you're cleverer than me 
But I'm not just some drama queen 
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been 
So what do you expect from me 
To hold your head above the sea 
And there are you even though you're bigger 
Cos don't you know you [bad word] my tiny figure 
And anyway we're still so young 
And this isn't yet the day 

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself 
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself 
You can only get so much from someone yeah 
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself 

You might be twenty-five but in my mind 
I see you at sixteen years or most of the time 
And I'm just a child and you're full grown 
And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah 
I'm nothing like I've ever known
