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?
