Standing Here Helpless Lyrics & Tabs by Douwe Bob Posthuma
Standing Here Helpless
guitar chords lyrics
I’m sorry I’m not the one
I’m not your savior
Not strong enough to lean on.
And yes I’m shamed of turning my back and run.
But I’m not your fatheror long lost son.
I’m not the one and I’m not a good lover,
I’m just a fool.
Or when you’re drowning,
I’m not the lifline to pull at sea.
Hell I’m not free enough myself to set you free.
I’m not your savior.
I’m not free.
You had the time to flee
To places where I’ll never be
But somehow you believed in me.
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,
Stretched out and look me in the eyes
Oh brother, when you shoot me down,
I ate the cake, I burned the flag
I burned it all but what the heck
I’m only temporary, just like you.
Just like you, just like you.
Wipe that smile off of your face,
Cause I can’t change your dreams or get the dreams you chase
And I can’t bear your wild 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,
Stretched out and look me in the eyes
Oh brother, when you shoot me down,
I ate the cake, I burned the flag
I burned it all but what the heck
I’m only temporary, just like you.
Just like you, just like you.
