You need somebody to try
Oh, what good am I?
Someone to wipe your weepin' eye
What good am I, if I say foolish things
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry
What good am I, while you softly weep
You need somebody to try
If my hands are tied, must I wonder within
Someone to sob for you and never say good bye
If I sat an' lay there while you slowly die
And I freeze in the moment like the rest that don't try
And where have I been, where have I been
You tell me, what good am I ?
You tell me, what good am I?
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunder in the sky
If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep
Who tied them and why?
What good am I, if I know and don't do
What good am I, what good am I, if I watch you cry
Someone to wipe your weepin' eye
Someone to sob for you and never say good bye
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
