Helplessly

I know where you are

I know where you stand

I know what you're going to say

Your fortune's been told

Your lines have been read

And you're here to turn me away

A fool's paradise

Promises never received

You smile nervously

As you look for forgiveness

You look for the door

A face so familiar

But have you been here before?

Heartlessly hoping

For a hard guarantee

But you lied when you said

You fell into his arms helplessly

I know you've had fear

I know you've had doubts

Well, I've had a few of my own

'Cause the life that you love

And can't live without

Won't keep you from feeling alone

Relax, settle down

Don't shake up your family tree

To lie here with me

Now you look for forgiveness

You look for the door

A face so familiar

But have you been here before

Heartlessly searching

For a hard guarantee

But you lied when you said

You fell into his arms helplessly

A fool's paradise

With promises never received

Too hard to break down on your own

And you'll never stray

Too far from home

Now you look for forgiveness

You look for the door

A face so familiar

But have you been here before

Heartlessly searching

For a hard guarantee

But you lied when you said

You fell into his arms helplessly
