Drove you home 
Took the long road just so I could 
Hear more of your voice 
Suddenly you said it all 
Helpless, so helpless 
Helpless, so helpless, helpless 

First you walked out of her life 
And then your own 
Did you best towards the end 
But it didn't count 
Helpless, so helpless 
Helpless, so helpless, helpless 

No prayer, no promise 
I know it doesn't help 
The sound of a train passing by 
Is all it takes 
Helpless, so helpless 
Helpless, so helpless, helpless
