Empathetic I know...
You hold me up to standards I could never achieve
I'm growing apathetic to your tendencies
I know you're trying to be empathetic
Say you care about me
Then why'd you lock the door and take away the key
I've been trying to change my standards to ones that I can believe
But it's hard when they just stand there and placate me
Putting pathetic in empathetic you lie to me
But it's the last time I fall for that I've grown to see
You don't
Believe in what you told me
You spoke
Only to curtail me
Think about what you said
While you're lying in bed
But the thing is that I know that you won't
Empathetic? I know!
While I'm fighting you just stand there egregiously
Making it look like you have your hand there
To help me
I'm sick of hearing that you get it
That's hard to believe
When you put the down payment on my misery
I can't help but just stare as you mess with me
You say what you do is fair and benefits "we"
Putting pathetic in empathetic you're to blind to see
You've got a real fucked up way of caring for me
Cus' you don't
Believe in what you told me
You spoke
Only to curtail me
Think about what you said
While you're lying in bed
But the thing is that I know that you won't
Empathetic?! I know!
Empathetic got you down on your knees
Some day I'll make you wonder why it could've been me
Empathetic got you down on your knees
Some day I'll make you wonder why you could never leave
Given the chance to make a difference you turn away
Acting like it's all a burden what we do or say
Sitting calm and collected to you it's a game
Exploiting each and every person for your personal game
You don't
Believe in what you told me
You spoke
Only to curtail me
You'd choke
On the words you'd use to help me
But the thing is that I know that you won't
Empathetic? I know!
