Crying Out For Help Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm staring at your pillow and I'm wide awake
I never even listen to you, why'd you stay?
I'm always on a mission and it slides away
I think I just unbalanced the seesaw

[Pre-Hook]
Crying out for help
Just happy I'm living
Crying out for help
Decisions, decisions
Crying out for help
And no one ever listens to me

[Hook x2]
I'm a victim, gone off the Richter scale
I invented to make myself feel better and better

Waving my crown, letting you down
When I'm down, when I'm down


[Verse 2]
I tried to make you smile in a lousy way
I found it hard to see you like a cloudy day
No fucking excuses for the way I behave
I never seem to finish the jigsaw
[Pre-Hook]
Crying out for help
Just happy I'm living
Crying out for help
Decisions, decisions
Crying out for help
And no one ever listens to me

[Hook x2]
I'm a victim, gone off the Richter scale
I invented to make myself feel better and better

Waving my crown, letting you down
When I'm down, when I'm down


[Verse 3]
Walking backwards, headed down the same road
Something's changed though
Everybody whispers something they know
I've been partying over the rainbow

And my cheeks got the same glow
And my voice got that same tone
But I didn't find happiness
Tapping that, tapping this
Back to the same old, same old, same old
And I love success
But I didn't find success in love
Obsessed with much, I'm missing her tender touch
I just surrendered to drugs
I'm just a half empty mug
And no-one ever listens to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
