Hopelessly helpless

(Joe Pereira)

Hopelessly helpless

Seeing you lying there in pain

Holding your hand and

trying to make you smile,

But it all seemed in vain

Hopelessly helpless

If only I could take away your pain

ease away your fears

and wipe away your tears

And make you well again

Hopelessly helpless

Is the way I feel when you cry

tears me apart and breaks my heart

And another piece of me dies

Hopelessly helpless

With the fear of losing you

Haunting me through the sleepless nights

Knowing there is nothing I can do

I just want to stay,

stay here next to you

Hold you in my arms like I used to do

Dry your tears when you need me to

I just want to stay,

stay here by your side

Hold your hand and talk the way we always did

Be your comfort as the pain subsides

Hopelessly helpless

With the fear of losing you

Haunting me through the sleepless nights

Knowing there is nothing I can do

I just want to stay….
