Lauren Aquilina - Empathy

didn’t ask to be born as a black hole
a silent tornado
between four bedroom walls,
i swallow up everybody’s real bad days
i make your pain, my pain
like it’s nothing at all

cause when i give a little
i give a lot,
there’s no in the middle
can’t make it stop
when i give a little
it’s all i got
til there’s nothing left but emptiness

why do i do this to myself?
every time you go through hell
i’m right there with you
whether i like it or not
oh, i’m overdosing empathy
and i do it recklessly
why do i care about everybody else but me?
(yeah)

picking up on every little signal,
you don’t even realise
that you’ve been giving off,
i
let you plant your problems in my body
and i can’t pull the
weeds out fast enough

cause when i give a little
i give a lot,
there’s no in the middle
can’t make it stop
when i give a little
it’s all i got
til there’s nothing left but emptiness

why do i do this to myself?
every time you go through hell
i’m right there with you
whether i like it or not
oh, i’m overdosing empathy
and i do it recklessly
why do i care about everybody else but me?
(yeah)
everybody else but me
why do i care?

i
i gotta get a grip
cause you’re 2 rooms away
and every single voice inside my head
is really yours
what have i gotta do
to make them go away
i don’t wanna
feel all of your feelings anymore

why do i do this to myself?
every time you go through hell
i’m right there with you
whether i like it or not
oh, i’m overdosing empathy
and i do it recklessly
why do i care about everybody else but me?
(yeah)
why do i care?

i’m overdosing empathy
is it worth it?
is it worth it?
