Ooh, yeah Ooh, yeah

Mmm, Wide awake and he shakes in a panic Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember Tries to forget but he can't, he can't
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her till his mind becomes blood hot Woken up to be burned burned again

Go it alone You got it so it goes
Gonna breathe and I said, "I can't take it any other way"

On the streets he's walking wounded Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it? Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
Own experiences lead to a younger All-alone you will meet the one who lies in wait

Go it alone You got it so it goes
Try to breathe while you can You can't take it any other way Yeah, yeah

I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself Myself
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself Myself

I can help myself don't talk to me I can help myself

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember Tries to forget but he can't he can't he can't he can't

I can help myself don't talk to me
