Standing Here Helpless
And I'm sorry I'm not the one
I'm not your savior and not strong enough to lean on
Yes I'm ashamed of turning my back and run
But I'm not your father or a long lost son I'm not the one
And I'm not a good lover I'm just a fool
When you're drowning I'm not the lifeline to pull at sea
Hell I'm not free enough to set you free
I'm not your savior 'cause I'm not free
You had the time to flee
To places where I'll never be
But somehow you believed in me
Standing here helpless at the end of my arms streched out
Look me in the eye oh brother when you shoot me down
And I ate the cake I burned the flag
I burned it all and what the heck
I'm only temporary
Just like you, just like you, just like you
And whipe that smile off of your face
'cause I can't change your dreams or get the dreams you chase
I can't bear your high golden cross
'cause after all you're just a shade on the wall like all of us
Another shade on the wall like all of us
Standing here helpless at the end of my arms streched out
Look me in the eye oh brother when you shoot me down
And I ate the cak I burned the flag
I burned it all and what the heck
I'm only temporary
Just like you, just like you, just like you
