Sometimes I carry troubles like they were my own Making myself crazy every time that I'm alone I'd reach out my hand, offer all that I could give But you can't fix another; it's their life to live
You can't help someone who's not ready to change Can't get them a suntan if they hide out in the shade All you can do is love them, let them know you're there It's their life to live, just keep showing you care
I know just what they need, I don't think I should say Their bad decisions sink them deeper every single day People only change when they decide they've had enough Until rock bottom hits, their road will be pretty rough
You can't help someone who's not ready to change Can't get them a suntan if they hide out in the shade All you can do is love them, let them know you're there It's their life to live, just keep showing you care
It's hard when they dig themselves deeper every day We want to help them & be sure that they're okay Be the light, be the shoulder, be the open door But don't tear yourself to pieces fighting battles in their war
I want them to be happy, want their life to feel right Their bad days are dark as a moonless winter night I'll try to stop fixing what's not in my hands to mend Help out only when I'm asked — just be a good friend
You can't help someone who's not ready to change Can't get them a suntan if they hide out in the shade All you can do is love them, let them know you're there It's their life to live, just keep showing you care
