If I could run away to the ends of the Earth, I would
Cause right now there's a pit in my stomach and I can't shake it
If I could see your face in a new light, I would
All these emotions are bottled up, and I can't take it

Trying to catch up to my words
But I trip and fall
When I get too close to you
Oh, it's just what I do

I'm helpless
A little bit too clumsy for my own good
I mess up the things I touch
And the people I love
I push 'em away
I'm helpless

I don't answer the phone too often
Don't care if there's someone calling
That wants to know if I'm okay
I'm helpless
I'm helpless

If I could be surrounded by these four walls forever, I would
Cause each time I go out a bit farther
I end up hurting myself again

Trying to catch up to my words
But I trip and fall
When I get too close to you
Oh, it's just what I do

I'm helpless
A little bit too clumsy for my own good
I mess up the things I touch
And the people I love
I push 'em away
I'm helpless

I don't answer the phone too often
Don't care if there's someone calling
That wants to know if I'm okay
I'm helpless
I'm helpless
