Posies Help Yourself
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 buit 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... 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
