When she was a baby the world was a picture

one twist of fate took her parents away

on a highway, they're not coming home

she's alone

then strangers appeared gave her love that she needed

over those green hills and so far away

like an echo, in the night she'd scream

in her dreams

She can't help herself, she can't help herself

she can't help herself crying alone

but there's so many crying like you

When nearly a woman a friend of the family

took that away that was precious to give

she pretended nothing happened there

through the years

She can't help herself, she can't help herself

she can't help herself crying alone

but there's so many crying like you

Now she walks alone down the lane made for lovers

too scared to open her heart to someone

close the door and push away the pain, once again

She can't help herself, she can't help herself

she can't help herself crying alone

all her bridges were burned long ago

she can't help herself, she can't help herself

she can't help herself crying alone

but there's so many crying like you

don't cry, leave a light on the landing hall

don't cry, there's a rainbow behind that door

just when you can't take anymore

. . . there'll be someone to help you to break down the walls

just when you can't feel anymore

. . . there'll be someone to help you to even the score

just when you can't give anymore

. . . there'll be someone to help you to break down the walls

just when you can't take anymore

. . . there'll be someone for sure
