Helpless

Backstreet Boys · Other Songs - Backstreet Boys

I wake up every morning and see your face

Lying right beside me it fills the space

In my heart

I can't live without you

Don't wanna figure right how to

And every time I lay my head down to sleep

The emptiness inside of me starts to beat

So loud

I can't hear the sound

Do you hear it?

For you



I fall in love all over again

Each time

I lay my eyes on you

I pretend

I feel so helpless

Without you

Feel so helpless

Without you

It takes a piece of me

Each time you leave

I feel it in my chest

So hard to breathe

I feel so helpless

Without you

I feel so helpless

Without you



I witness every trick you got up your sleeve

But still somehow you keep on surprising me

I'm yours

I can't live without you

Don't wanna figure right how to

Every time I see you I feel like I

Could be the luckiest man in the world

Why try to fight it

There's no need to hide it

Because

You know



I fall in love all over again

Each time

I lay my eyes on you

I pretend

I feel so helpless

Without you

Feel so helpless

Without you

Helpless

It takes a piece of me

Each time you leave

I feel it in my chest

So hard to breathe

I feel so helpless

Without you

I feel so helpless

Without you



Feels like

I fall apart

Every time

Where do I start

I'm so helpless

Without you

Without you



Every time I close my eyes

You're the first thing that runs to my mind

Everywhere I go

I see you

Hear you

Feel you

I just wanna be near you

And heal? you

Last thing you said is how dare you

First thing I said is I'm sorry

Now I'm sitting here

Helpless

Man

Same old story



Now she's brokenhearted

Time heals all the wounds

She said

Not this time

It's true

Everyone plays a fool

And that fool is me

Because I foolishly

Took advantage of a woman who loved me



I fall in love all over again

Each time

I lay my eyes on you

I pretend

I feel so helpless

Without you

Feel so helpless

Without you

It takes a piece of me

Each time you leave

I feel it in my chest

So hard to breathe

I feel so helpless

Without you

I feel so helpless

Without you



Ohh yeah
