Better

Take my shoulder back now
Your head's too heavy for me
Please don't come around here no more
'Cos I asked you to stop
And you wouldn't
I would give anything
To make you better
I would give anything
To point you to free
I would give anything
To help you realise
I loved you till it killed me
So my logic wouldn't hurt you
I know you might blame me anyway
Well I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
I would give anything
To make you better
I would give anything
To point you to free
I would give anything
To help you realise
You're not helping yourself to me
I've tried all the things
They told me to do
Trying to close up the wounds
Left open by you
And if I seem doubtful
Distrusting I am
You said you wouldn't do it again
You said you wouldn't do it again
(Anything just to try and help you see)
(You ain't helping yourself by hurting me)
(Time to let you go, time for you to see)
(You ain't helping yourself by hurting me)
You're not helping yourself, no
You're not helping yourself by hurting me...
