Written based on some struggling friends, and some of my own. Demo soon!
Chorus:
I can't tell you how to help me
I can't tell you how to help me
I can't tell you how to help me
I can't tell what I need when I don't feel much at all
I can't tell you how to help when I can't even
Verse 1:
What do you do when you're the one left behind
Canceling accounts and feeling loss that's ill-defined
How do you measure the limits of something so big
How do you, how can you answer when they offer
Verse 2:
When it all gets so low you can't get out of bed
It all hurts and it doesn't, what's your body, what's your head
They want to help you, just tell them what to do
They want to, they hate to see you suffer
Bridge:
It's not their fault and it's not yours
It's just hard, how do you, they want to
I'm not trying to put so much work on you
If I could think at all I'd tell you what to do
Verse 3:
Let's brainstorm for the future
Let's have routine for next time
Let's fallback on a system
A listless grief-soaked paradigm
I want to help myself, not put more work on you
I want to, I can't do, how do you, they want to

Oof. This is a very good breakdown of a frustrating situation.
