Empathy

I bet you don't know how

To deal with heartache

Living for yesterday

Drowning in your mistakes

And don't try to tell me

Tomorrow's a better day

Cause you don't how it feels

To be caught in the rain

Do you ever cry at night

Do you ever feel fear

Do you ever wish the one you love

Is always near

How can you try to save me

When you're standing over there

And don't you dare try to tell me

That you've always cared

You wanna be my friend

But you won't take my hand

You wanna hold me tight

But you don't think you can

I swear I don't bite

My thoughts are way off brand

Of course I want you here

You just won't understand

I'm reachin out to you

But I don't think you see

Too busy lookin in my eyes

Lookin inside of me

What can you find in me

My soul has been empty

Don't try to take my hand

Until you've felt my pain

And Don't try to save me

Until you're caught in the rain
