As the years go on, the more I see Hung up people cling to me But I'm not something to lean on I need to stand on my own two feet These lives are strangely our own Some of us always feel alone But we've got to try to travel the unknown I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves When days grow dark, use your head There's better places than your bed (Yeah) The first step, is always hard When you feel like you're not in charge I can't hear you out Lower your guard They say that time heals all But only to those who've broke down their wall I'm here anytime, just pick up the phone and give me a call I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves
