Tess Stevens - Counselor Lyrics

Counselor
Could you help me out
I haven't slept in days
And I think
My heart's gonna give out
I know you said don't look down
But can't you see
I can't help it
Oh counselor
Could you take me down
Cause these stage lights will fade
And I know
My heart's gonna burn out
I know you said don't cry now
But can't you see
I can't help it
My salad days are far behind me
I've got them ringing in my ears
But your crooked ways always find me
As we count up all the years
Oh counselor
Could you help me out
I haven't loved in years
And I know
My time's gonna run out
I know you said don't jump now
But can't you see
That's what you taught me
Bring on the darkness and lightning
Confess your sentimental fears
Some days I still feel like dying
But can you see me
Through the tears
Counselor
Help yourself now
