| Drove you home | |
| Took the long road just so I could | |
| Hear more of your voice | |
| Suddenly you said it all | |
| First you walked out of her life | |
| And then your own | |
| Did your best towards the end | |
| But it didn't count | |
| Didn't count | |
| It didn't count | |
| Count | |
| Helpless, so helpless | |
| Helpless, so helpless, helpless | |
| No prayer, no promise | |
| I know it doesn't help | |
| The sound of a train passing by | |
| Is all it takes | |
| Is all it takes | |
| Helpless, so helpless | |
| Helpless, so helpless, helpless | |
| No prayer, no promise | |
| I know it doesn't help | |
| The sound of a train passing by | |
| Is all it takes |
