Empathy Songtext
von Lauren Aquilina

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

Oh, 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 'bout everybody else but me? Yeah

Picking up on every little signal
You don′t even realize 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

Oh, 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? Oh-oh

I gotta get a grip
'Cause you're two 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 ′bout everybody else but me? Yeah
Why do I care?

I'm overdosing empathy
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it?
