Melissa Etheridge
Sympathy
[Verse 1]
There's a liar in your bed
And there's a shotgun to your head
You can't breathe but you can smoke
You can't cry, huh, but you can joke about it
[Verse 2]
You can drink yourself to chills
And you can hide your little pills
As your life slowly explodes
You can believe nobody knows about it
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you think that you're the only one
Who's losing their minds?
Keeping it together
Is everyone's favorite pastime
[Chorus]
Well, everybody's had some really, really bad
Some this has got to be the end
I would really like to try for you
Sit around and cry for you
Muster up some sympathy, yeah
Well, that's too much to ask of me
[Verse 3]
You try so hard to be discreet
With all your secrets in the sheets
As you solemnly refuse, huh
The very spark that lights your fuse
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, do you think that you're the only one
Who can be unkind?
Tearing at each other's flesh
Is everyone's favorite pastime
[Chorus]
Well, everybody's had some really, really bad
Some this has got to be the end
I would really like to try for you
Sit around and cry for you
Muster up some sympathy, yeah
But that's too much to ask of me
[Bridge]
Have some, have some sympathy now
Have some, have some sympathy now
Have some
[Chorus]
Now everybody's had some really, really bad
Some this has got to be the end
I would really like to try for you
Sit around and cry for you
Muster up some sympathy
But that's too much to ask of me
[Outro]
Sympathy, sympathy
Hey, hey
That's too much, it's too much to ask of me
Sympathy, sympathy
Honey, that's too much to ask of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sympathy, huh
That's too much to ask of me
