People say "Empty vessels
make the loudest sounds"
Then why am I always so quiet
When you're not, you're not around?

I just lose my focus
Like a moth without a flame
Or a sad old toothless tiger
That dare not track his game

I'm helpless
Helpless
When you're not here with me
I'm helpless
(Helpless)

All alone with these four walls
Here I sit and I pray
That you'll come back to me sometime
So I just wait, night and day

I was so lucky to find you
But I did not realise
Now you're gone, and I'm hoping
That lightning can strike twice

I'm helpless
Helpless
When you're not here with me
I'm helpless

I know that I must fight
But when I try with all my might
I just can't seem to break out of this cell
No willpower left to use
No way to shake these blues
This isn't life, it's just a living hell

Fires die, embers darken
All things come to an end
You need a reason to be hopeful
And look what's round another bend

I can't turn that corner
Like a tramcar without track
Until I hear you call me
Can't go forward, won't go back

I'm helpless
Helpless
When you're not here with me
I'm helpless
Helpless
When you're not here with me
I'm helpless
(Helpless)
