Sympathetic Lyrics
Seether
Lyrics
And my words will be here when I'm gone
As I'm fading away against the wind
And the words you left me linger on
As I'm failing again now, never to change this
And I'm sympathetic
Never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam
And it seems I'm alone here, hollow again
As I'm flailing again against the wind
And the scars I am left with swallow again
As I'm failing again now, never to change this
And I'm sympathetic
Never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam
And I'm sympathetic
Never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam
The same old feelings are taking over
And I can't seem to make them go away
And I can't take all the pressure sober
But I can't seem to make it go away
The same old feelings are taking over
And I can't seem to make them go away
And I can't take all the pressure sober
(I can't make it go away. I can't make it go away)
And I'm sympathetic
Never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam
And I'm sympathetic
Never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam
And I'm falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Apart again at the seam
