Empathy

[Verse 1]
There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face
There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait

[Pre-Chorus]
You come along and invite these parts out of hiding, oh
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting, oh

[Chorus]
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy, oh
This intimacy, oh

[Verse 2]
There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation

[Pre-Chorus]
You come along and celebrate each feeling, oh
And there you are all honor and inquiring, oh

[Chorus]
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy, oh
This intimacy, oh

[Bridge]
There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
Required too much you see to accept your generosity
And to know myself enough to let you help me

[Chorus]
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy, oh
This intimacy, oh
