[English]

Help, I have done it again

...

I have been here many times before

Hurt myself again today

And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

Ouch, I have lost myself again

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found

Yeah, I think that I might break

Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me
