  • I cannot believe what you get away with
    You find beauty in anything
    Whenever you look down into a sewer
    You see a diamond ring

    It isn't fair how you never look like you're trying
    As if you couldn't care any less
    And I'm here kicking myself to keep from crying
    You say you're impressed

    But this isn't helping at all
    It only makes me wanna get further off
    This isn't helping at all
    This isn't helping

    You say that this doesn't have to hurt
    You're there if you need to be found
    Can't you see that that makes it so much worse?
    I'll always see you around

    Maybe in time, we can give it one more try
    But let's think about what matters now
    Keep kicking yourself to keep from crying
    That, you're so right about

    'Cause this isn't helping at all
    I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
    This isn't helping at all
    This isn't helping

    Don't say that it's all your fault
    I know you're banking on it coming up
    But would your life be so bad
    If you knew every single thought I had?

    'Cause I only have two things to say to you
    But you say two things about everything, babe
    Well, just when I thought
    You don't even notice me at all

    'Cause this isn't helping at all
    It only makes me wanna get further off
    This isn't helping at all
    This isn't helping

    This isn't helping at all
    I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
    This isn't helping at all
