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
