Self-Sympathy
Folder:
The Present Take this, baby take this off
It’s so simple to shrug the world off your shoulders
And you’re the perfect example of a self-disaster
A catastrophe that can’t be put back together
It’s so hard to be whole once you’ve been broken, isn’t it
Isn’t it so typical once you’ve been broken
To cry your tears and weep in anger
Would be to regret all the things that you once loved
It was just a second in time
But if you had a second chance
You’d live that moment for the rest of you life
And now you’ve become the epitome of self-sympathy
You wear such simple credentials
And play them off as well as your able
Don’t you feel like you’ve cut yourself a little short
Why do you listen to opinions when you know they’re wrong
They’re just tearing down what you could become, aren’t they
Aren’t they everything that you didn’t want
To cry tears and weep in anger
Would be to regret all the things that you once loved
It was just a second in time
But if you had a second chance
You’d live that moment for the rest of you life
And now you’ve become the epitome of self-sympathy
And I can understand where you might be coming from
Cause I’ve been dwelling in my past for too long too
Does that mean that I’m regretting all that I once loved
It was just a second in time
And if I had a second chance
I’d live that moment for the rest of my life
But I’ve become the epitome of self-sympathy
Does this mean that I will always regret all that I once loved
Self-sympathy
