Helplessly

I know where you are
I know where you stand
I know what you're going to say

Your fortune's been told
Your lines have been read
And you're here to turn me away

A fool's paradise
Promises never received
You smile nervously

As you look for forgiveness
You look for the door
A face so familiar
But have you been here before?
Heartlessly hoping
For a hard guarantee
But you lied when you said
You fell into his arms helplessly

I know you've had fear
I know you've had doubts
Well, I've had a few of my own

'Cause the life that you love
And can't live without
Won't keep you from feeling alone

Relax, settle down
Don't shake up your family tree
To lie here with me

Now you look for forgiveness
You look for the door
A face so familiar
But have you been here before
Heartlessly searching
For a hard guarantee
But you lied when you said
You fell into his arms helplessly

A fool's paradise
With promises never received
Too hard to break down on your own
And you'll never stray
Too far from home

Now you look for forgiveness
You look for the door
A face so familiar
But have you been here before
Heartlessly searching
For a hard guarantee
But you lied when you said
You fell into his arms helplessly
