Sympathy
Goo Goo Dolls · Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles [2007]
And this is my apology
I Kill myself from the inside out,
And all my fears have pushed you out.
And I wished for things that I don't need.
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free.
It's all I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees.
Oh yeah, everything's all wrong , yeah.
Everything's all wrong, yeah.
Where the hell did i think i was?
And stranger than your sympathy.
I take these things so I don't feel.
I kill myself from the inside out,
And now my head's been filled with doubt.
And it's hard to lead the life you choose,
All I wanted
When all your luck's run out on you.
All I wanted
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true.
Oh yeah, it's easy to forget, yeah.
And you choke on the regrets, yeah.
who the hell did i think i was?
And stranger than your sympathy,
And all these thoughts you stole from me.
And I'm not sure where I belong.
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong
And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was.
And I wouldn't be the one
To kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the talking,
And all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
mm Yeah.
Stranger than your sympathy.
Stranger than your sympathy.
