Isolated Sympathy
Heartless moral
isolated empathy
I feel sick to my stomach
Retched apathy
Sheltered - no
Saved - no
Sad - pathetically
More than anyone can know
And if only you knew
how much I ran away
from my islolated empathy
From my empty family
If only you knew
the things I wanted to say
Isolated empathy
only to myself
now, only empty
acting naturally
nothing is as it seems
daylight drugged dreams
can you remember?
would you want to?
...If only you knew
Sick to my stomach
tell me the lies
you keep to yourself
You ask me 'Why'
I cannot answer
I cannot say a thing
because I realize now
that truth can sting
You leave while I left
now tell me, tell me
What do I have left?
You hit her
and I feel the pain
She screams
and I hear the shame
My world
now only broken
all the apologies
never spoken
isolated empathy
I keep to myself
retched sympathy
I keep to myself
Sick to my stomach
I am not myself
If only you knew
The tears I cried for you
If only you could care
The times you were never there
You were only nowhere
Empty family
isolated empathy
retched sympathy
it's all the same
all the pain
And if only you knew
How much I loved you
