Helena, don't walk away
                          
Before you give me back my heart
                             
If it were mine, it would be yours to take
                         
'm sorry I let down my guard, oh Helena

                
You looked so sweet
                  
I should have seen
                
While I was playing for fun
                           
You were playing for keeps

                   
You win, I lose, is there some way
                      
You can leave me in your debt
                                 
So my girl and I can live to die another day
                        
On that day I won't forget you, Helena

                                          
You look so sweet waiting for me
                                   
While I wait for her to give me any reason to leave

                             
Don't waste your pretty sympathy
                     
She's gonna be just fine
            
And Helena, so will we
                      
So will everything in time, mmm

Helena, don't walk away
                       
Did you hear one word I said
                              
Oh well, I never really liked her anyway
                   
And I forgot her, I'll forget you, Helena
                           
You're not that sweet
                   
And neither is she
                                   
Go ahead and tell her anything you want,
                                                  
'cause, Helena, guys like me never sleep alone at night
                                        
I don't need your sympathy
                        
'cause I'll always be just fine

                          
Yeah, I'll always be just fine

                               

                            
Yeah, I'll always be just fine

                               
La la la, la la la, la la la
