"Empathy" lyrics

Standing all alone in the corner of a dark room
With nothing but the light of the full moon
Got a thousand thoughts
And every single one consumes me

I'm clinging on with every ounce of strength
Barely getting by
I lose my faith
In a cage I made
No one else to blame but me

I was broken when you came along
You took the worries when all went wrong
You were the medicine I needed now
From the gutter to above the clouds
Through the madness and the damage

Everything is silent when you hold me
Do you remember the night you told me that
I was worthy and deserving
I can't seem to shake this feeling

Maybe there's a part of you that's enslaved to empathy
Lost into the thought of saving me
We fall in love just for you to walk out the door

You took the weight of all my burdens
Yet I'm crushed by the pressure when you're not around
Broken dreams like the broken glass on the floor

Everything is silent when you hold me
Do you remember the night you told me that
I was worthy and deserving
I can't seem to shake this feeling that
Only comes by once a lifetime
If I ever had to say goodbye to anything that could give me purpose
You should know I deserved it

If I ever had to say goodbye to anything that could give me purpose

Enslaved by empathy
It'll be the death of me
Pull me in your arms
Shield me as I heal from the darkness of the storm
Release me from this hell

Everything is silent when you hold me
Do you remember the night you told me that
I was worthy and deserving
I can't seem to shake this feeling that
Only comes by once a lifetime
If I ever had to say goodbye to anything that could give me purpose
You should know I deserved it
