Empathy

didn’t ask to be born as a black hole

a silent tornado

between four bedroom walls,

i swallow up everybody’s real bad days

i make your pain, my pain

like it’s nothing at all

cause when i give a little

i give a lot,

there’s no in the middle

can’t make it stop

when i give a little

it’s all i got

til there’s nothing left but emptiness

why do i do this to myself?

every time you go through hell

i’m right there with you

whether i like it or not

oh, i’m overdosing empathy

and i do it recklessly

why do i care about everybody else but me?

(yeah)

picking up on every little signal,

you don’t even realise

that you’ve been giving off,

i

let you plant your problems in my body

and i can’t pull the

weeds out fast enough

cause when i give a little

i give a lot,

there’s no in the middle

can’t make it stop

when i give a little

it’s all i got

til there’s nothing left but emptiness

why do i do this to myself?

every time you go through hell

i’m right there with you

whether i like it or not

oh, i’m overdosing empathy

and i do it recklessly

why do i care about everybody else but me?

(yeah)

everybody else but me

why do i care?

i

i gotta get a grip

cause you’re 2 rooms away

and every single voice inside my head

is really yours

what have i gotta do

to make them go away

i don’t wanna

feel all of your feelings anymore

why do i do this to myself?

every time you go through hell

i’m right there with you

whether i like it or not

oh, i’m overdosing empathy

and i do it recklessly

why do i care about everybody else but me?

(yeah)

why do i care?

i’m overdosing empathy

is it worth it?

is it worth it?
