‘empathy will be the death of me’ is a song i wrote about letting the empathy you have for oth...
[Verse 1]
You say you mean what you say
And you say what you mean
Did you mean when you said that you love me? (That you love me?)
Cause I've been taking your calls, while I'm falling sleep
And crying about you feeling lonely (Feeling lonely)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm falling apart, I give you all I've got and
I don't see that as an issue, oh my god
[Chorus]
Empathy will be the death of me
Will the end of me if you keep breaking down
Don't wanna feel sad for you, I wanna feel sad for me
But you hurt so loud I forget about myself
I don't make a sound
[Verse 2]
I've been holding my tongue and grinding my teeth
And losing my head in my sleep
And it's not your party, but you cry when you want to
And you know that's starting but if it's not about you
You'll disregard me, and knowing I won't stop you, stop you, stop you, stop you
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm falling apart, I give you all I've got and
I don't see that as an issue, oh my god
[Chorus]
Empathy will be the death of me
Will the еnd of me if you keep breaking down
Don't wanna feel sad for you, I wanna feel sad for me
But you hurt so loud I forgеt about myself
I don't make a sound
[Bridge]
Let you in then I start to resent you
Take the pain that I didn't consent to
And I love you, I love you, I swear that I love you
You swear to me you never meant to
Make me feel like your therapist
Giving into your arrogant needs
'Cause you love me
[Chorus]
Empathy will be the death of me
Will the end of me if you keep breaking down
Don't wanna feel sad for you, I wanna feel sad for me
But you hurt so loud I forget about myself
I don't make a sound
