Sympathy

(album: Elysian Fields - 2020)

It's not too much to ask
I wish you had
It got lonely, lonely so fast
It got lonely, lonely so fast
You know

Had the nerve to not react
It's kinda sad
It got lonely, lonely so fast
You'll never know me, know me like that
You won't

Mmm
Heart sick, I'm not looking for the medicine
Too quick, can't fix when I don't know what the method is
No, I don't know how to deal with this

How 'bout some sympathy
The kind you don't give to me
While I'm ly-y-y-ying on the floor
Sick of trying, I'm not trying anymore
How 'bout some sympathy
The kind you don't give to me
While I'm ly-y-y-ying on the floor
Sick of trying, I'm not trying anymore

You think you'd understand
You're just a boy, I need the man
That can, that can
Hold me, hold me like that
And I don't hold it, hold it all back

Tragedy
You wouldn't know, cuz you don't bleed
It's not your thing
Heartbeat, only one that I have
Broken, honestly, I'm not mad

Heart sick, I'm not looking for the medicine
Too quick, can't fix when I don't know what the method is
No, I don't know how to deal with this

How 'bout some sympathy
The kind you don't give to me
While I'm ly-y-y-ying on the floor
Sick of trying, I'm not trying anymore
How 'bout some sympathy
The kind you don't give to me
While I'm ly-y-y-ying on the floor
Sick of trying, I'm not trying anymore

Nah nah nah nah no
Nah nah nah nah nah no
I needed sympathy
Why can't you give that to me
Nah nah nah nah no
Nah nah nah nah nah no
I needed sympathy
Why can't you give that to me

It's all I really needed
A little understanding
Yeah, yeah

Why can't you give that to me
When I needed it the most
While I'm lying on the floor
Trying
Whoa...

How 'bout some sympathy
The kind you don't give to me
While I'm ly-y-y-ying on the floor
Sick of trying, I'm not trying anymore
How 'bout some sympathy
The kind you don't give to me
While I'm ly-y-y-ying on the floor
Sick of trying, I'm not trying anymore

Why can't you give that to me
Why can't you give that to me
Sympathy...
Why can't you give that to me
