"empathy will be the death of me" lyrics

"empathy will be the death of me"

You said you mean what you say, and you say what you mean
Did you mean when you said that you love me? (that you love me?)
Cause I've been taking your calls, while I'm falling sleep
Crying about you feeling lonely (feeling lonely)

I'm falling apart, I give you all I've got and
I don't see that as an issue, oh my God

Empathy will be the death of me, will the end of me
If you keep breaking down
I don't wanna feel sad for you, I wanna feel sad for me
But you hurt so loud, that I forget about myself, I don't make a sound

I've been holding my tongue, and grinding my teeth
And losing my head in my sleep
And it's not your party, but you cry when you want to
And you know that's starting but if it's not about you
You'll disregard me, and knowing I won't stop you (stop you)

I'm falling apart, I give you all I've got and
I don't see that as an issue, oh my God

Empathy will be the death of me, will the end of me
If you keep breaking down
I don't wanna feel sad for you, I wanna feel sad for me
But you hurt so loud, that I forget about myself, I don't make a sound

Let you in then I start to resent you
Take the pain that it didn't consent to
And I love you, I love you, I swear that I love you
Do you swear to me
You never meant to make me feel like your therapist
Givin' in to your arrogant needs
Cause you love me

Empathy will be the death of me, will the end of me
If you keep breaking down
I don't wanna feel sad for you, I wanna feel sad for me
But you hurt so loud, that I forget about myself, I don't make a sound
