i already forget how i used to feel about you

I really want to be there for a friend because I understand how he feels. I feel his pain and confusion. Because I've been there, done that. Yet I don't know how to help, because the reality is everything that ought to be said has already been said. And you already know everything, you've heard everything nice and comforting. You know rationally what you should do, but your heart just isn't convinced.

Or maybe I can't help him because I can't even help myself. I don't know what to say because nothing much helps anymore. You've heard so much, you've gone through so much, it's been so long and yet things don't improve. Because deep down, I too feel that it is hopeless, precisely because I've been there done that. I understand his sense of helplessness, therefore I don't know what to say.
