"Sympathy" lyrics

I never thought you'd care
But what a fickle place I've been in
Failed to understand I needed (I needed)
Someone who validates my feelings, oh

I maxed out, I found love with no doubt
I felt numb like no one else
Who'd've thought things turned out?

You got sympathy, you got sympathy
Even listening, you'll sing with me
[?] when you hold me
When the rug's pulled from right under me
You got unwavering empathy
And you know what to say to me
You have seen the worst of me
Don't know why you'd stay with me
Stay with me, ah

I wasn't quite aware
Of what a livid place I'd been in
Now love has a whole new meaning
You care to validate my feelings

I maxed out, I found love with no doubt
I felt numb like no one else
Who'd've thought things turned out? (Who'd've thought, baby?)

You got sympathy, you got sympathy
Even listening, you'll sing with me
[?] when you hold me
When the rug's pulled from right under me
You got unwavering empathy
And you know what to say to me
You have seen the worst of me (You know)
Don't know why you'd stay with me (Don't know why you'd stay with me)
I don't know why you'd stay with me

Don't know why you'd stay with me, yeah
Don't know why you'd stay with me
