Hopeless and Beaten Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Help me, I can't put it away
And you can't make me so I disobey
Help me, this thing is feeding

[Chorus]
Hopeless and fucking beaten

[Post-Chorus]
I tried all along (Help me please)
It did things to me (It's too real)
Had to take the sting (It's nothing)
I can't feel a thing (Suffering)

[Verse 2]
I feel sympathy, my hurt on display
And I see it boiling up, so hard to disobey
Hold me, it's cold and I can't see

[Chorus]
Hopeless and fucking beaten
Hopeless and fucking beaten

[Post-Chorus]
I tried all along (Help me please)
It did things to me (It's too real)
Had to take the sting (It's nothing)
I can't feel a thing (Suffering)
[Bridge]
I can't remеmber a thing
You had me strung up by a string
Oh, the things I wish I could convеy
A better version, me without disdain
And nothing feeds the heartbreak left behind
And nothing soothes the hurting, only time
Nothing only time
Nothing only time
Nothing only time
Beats me up inside

[Chorus]
Hopeless and fucking beaten
Hopeless and fucking beaten

[Post-Chorus]
I tried all along (Help me please)
It did things to me (It's too real)
Had to take the sting (It's nothing)
I can't feel a thing (Suffering)

[Outro]
(I tried all along)
(It did things to me)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
