[Verse 1] You'll tell everyone you've ever known of
Where you've been and where you're trying to go
But there's no telling what you're on about
When all you've ever been is full of doubt

I've heard everything you've had to say
And I'm not ever going back your way
We've come closer than we had before
To communicating so much more

[Chorus] But you can't help me
You can't help me
You can't help me
But you can't help me, oh no

Unforgettable melody

[Verse 2] Is this everything you want to see
Madness broadcasting on live tv?
When this ends the way you know it will
With a bang, will you be laughing still?

If I told you what you meant to me
Is it still violence that you'd want to see?
Would you take the time to hear me out
Or scream louder just to drown it out?

[Chorus] But you can't help me (What do you want from me?)
You can't help me (Do you see what you want to see?)
You can't help me (What do you need from me?)
But you can't help me, oh no (Is it all, is it all you need?)

[Outro] I'll tell you something I can't even admit to myself
When I was young, I hoped to grow to be somebody else
And now I stand here to confess to all the things I've done
Nothing left to do and nowhere else that I could run

I thought I'd give you something before I left here for good
A final message to attempt to make things understood
And as I'm wishing you goodbye on your computer screen
I couldn't tell you, I-I couldn't tell you what it means to me?
Do you see what you want to see?
What it means to me?
Is it all, is it all you need?
