Help Yourself Lyrics - Singles - Posies

When we met we still had innocence 

And we did things 'cause they made sense 

Without trying hard I made it final 

And we conceived our children on backseat vinyl 

Though we didn't have a lot 

But one was quickly bought 

Then we built upon this ground 

Something we thought was sound 

But in reality was silence 

I can't tell you why it all breaks down 

And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around 

I only picked up your story knowing you were lying 

Don't ask me for advice, you'll have to learn to help yourself 

When I look back now I plainly see 

The misery I'm sure you don't agree 

And all the products of those peaceful years 

The broken plates and glasses 

And the shouting hurt my ears 

Sometimes I wish I was asleep 

And you were just another sheep 

And when we finally fell apart 

You were left holding the cart 

Though you thought I'd said I'd push it 

I can't tell you why it all breaks down 

And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around 

I keep dropping those hints but they never touched the ground 

I'm useless to you now, you'll have to learn yourself to help yourself 

I had never planned on this being so complicated 

You had never planned on us being so separated 

The spiteful words will heal with time, eventually they rhyme 

You can forget but not forgive the fact that I still live 

And never wanted you to give in 

I can't tell you why it all breaks down 

And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around 

You weren't satisfied I was only superhuman 

Don't ask me for advice, you'll have to learn to help yourself 

I can't tell you why it all breaks down 

And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around 

Well I could only stand sitting here so long 

You don't need my help, you'll have to learn to help yourself
