"I Can't Help You" lyrics

I wanted to bathe you in endless summer
To cut into the fabric of your fallacies
Good faith is on the turn

What good could ever come from being cruel?
I haven't seen you in the longest while
The hands locked in their pair
We all know what we heard

I can't help you, I can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you

I took a backseat in my heart and laid low
I watched the duel unfold through blown-out windows
The night was on its knees, and everyone agrees

I can't help you, can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you

And after the fact, we were out of steam
Time took out my time
And split me like timber
Spilt me like water
Bent me like elbows
Beat me like egg yolks
Beat me like egg yolks

I can't help you, can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you
I can't help you, can't help you
