THE HELPER

[Intro] What do you need? [Verse 1] I remember how you take your coffee I know which story not to ask I can hear the change inside your hello Before you tell me what's gone wrong I'll find the number Make the call Bring the thing you left behind I don't mind Really I don't mind [Pre-Chorus] And I love being someone You know you can call I just got used to answering Before checking in at all [Chorus] Tell me what you need I'll find a way Give me what is heavy I'll make room today I know how to notice I know how to care I got so good at being there for everyone I stopped noticing when I wasn't there [Verse 2] There is nothing wrong with kindness There are things I want to give Some of the best parts of who I am Are the ways I choose to care But somewhere between being thoughtful And becoming what you need I made myself necessary Then called that being me [Pre-Chorus] One more message One more favour One more Are you okay? Funny how I knew what everybody needed Before I knew what I would say [Chorus] Tell me what you need I'll find a way Give me what is heavy I'll make room today I know how to notice I know how to care I got so good at being there for everyone I stopped noticing when I wasn't there [Bridge] If nobody needs anything Do I know how to stay? If I can't make this better Would you want me anyway? If I came with empty hands Nothing fixed Nothing planned Could I sit beside you And not earn the right to be there? [Final Chorus] I still want to notice I still want to care I don't need to lose the part of me That knows how to be there But I could leave some room Inside the giving For a life that also belongs to me I can still be generous Without helping myself away [Outro] What do you need? Actually It can wait
