How did we get here, is it just a dream?

Tell me I believe in something more than we 

can try to help ourselves, can you show me how

to let it go, I don’t know (Now I’m)

Throwing over tables thinking I've made a mistake

(awhi mai) Help me if you can (awhi mai)

Help me if you can (awhi mai)  

Throwing out the water hoping the baby understands

(awhi mai) Help me if you can (awhi mai)

Help me if you can (awhi mai)

Can we let it go. (I). won’t perform my tricks

sick of dressing up like clown, it’s a risk 

I can do without, can you show me how

to let it go, I don’t know (I’m)

I know I need to work it out

I know I’ve got to get out of here

Don’t want to lose myself in the mess,

Will you tell me how to make it out?
