Here's some notes on what I believe I'm listening to:

It hasn't been mentioned yet but the video actually begins after at least one line has already been sung. You can briefly hear the final syllable in the opening second which sounds like it's probably an 'in' to me so...

________ (likely) prayin'
That broke me.
Not what you were sayin'
That drove me out.
Stay inside.
Lie beside my warmth.
Stay around.

And help me through this
And help me to do this
And show me how to leave you alone.

It helped me to know you
And if help doesn't hold you
It'd help me to leave you alone.

I'm not sayin'
That you're ow(n?)ed.
Not complainin'
But you drove me out.
I have lied
From behind oath(s?).
But I'm still around.

Show me through this
And help me to do this
Will you show me how to you leave you alone?

It helped me to know you
And if love doesn't hold you
Will you show me how to leave you alone?

OOOOoOoooooo

Help me to do this
And help me through this
Show me how to leave you alone.

And help me to know you
And if help doesn't hold you
If it's helped me to leave you alone.

Although the laws of causal effect indicate that the last line was meant to begin with "Then", I believe in their fervor they accidentally added the second "If" which is what's understandably causing us confusion.
