Sympathy

Here you are pushing twenty one

And you've got nothing left to do

Say the sun shines last on you

You're popping pills to make it true

But don't leave here with my advice

As if it's right to listen to

Because I could never live up to this

I couldn't stand for this

I couldn't give respect to you

What do you get from me, this much I'll

Never see

What do you get for being here

Signed sealed sympathy

Here we are talking so sincerly

Like a lie could break us two

I could never lie to forgive eyes

But I can lie so well to you

Friends can mean such different things

But friends have never been like this

Because I know that it's a different thing

That only pain could bring and it's a pain that starts

With you

What do you get from me, this much I'll

Never see

What do you get for being here

Signed sealed sympathy

This is the way, this is the price

No one ever makes it taking loseres advice

This is the point that can't be refused

Sympathy is something that can never be used

Here you are pushing twenty two

And there's a world that's closing fast

You never had the time to

Sit this long

To find that you belong

And now that time has passed

What do you get from me, this much I'll

Never see

What do you get for being here

Signed sealed sympathy
