Sympathy Pains
I could tell you that it's all your father's fault
For never giving the approval that you want
Although you ask, you never wait for my response
So I won't
Feel like I'm always picking you up off the floor
I give you everything I have, then you take more
Do you realise that's not what friends are for?
You don't
A problem shared is a problem halved
So why do I feel it twice as much?
I get sympathy pains, yeah, my whole body aches
And my arms feel heavy from carrying the weight
Of you
I feel it for two, for two
I get sympathy pains, yeah, my voice getting strained
From repeating the same words over and over
To you
I feel it for two
I know you like the supermarket flowers
But I can't buy them for you every time you're hurt
You leave me with an empty heart and hollow purse
It's not worth it
A problem shared is a problem halved
So why do I feel it twice as much?
I get sympathy pains, yeah, my whole body aches
And my arms feel heavy from carrying the weight
Of you
I feel it for two, for two
I get sympathy pains, yeah, my voice getting strained
From repeating the same words over and over
To you
I feel it for two
I just wanna do what's right for you, I listen carefully
But I don't know if I can carry on without some therapy
Cause I get sympathy pains, yeah, my whole body aches
And my arms feel heavy from carrying the weight
Of you
I feel it for two, for two
I get sympathy pains, yeah, my voice getting strained
From repeating the same words over and over
To you
I feel it for two
