Lyrics

SYMPATHY (WHO I AM)

Stay awake, or go to bed
I'll rest my case when nothing more need be said,
These things I've been holding back far too long
Been so messed up and mistaken for,
Been taken down like so many times before,
But I've been blessed with the rebirth of
Forgiveness, the promise of something more

And I, I don't want your sympathy
I, It's never enough for me
I just want to feel what it's like to be real
To be taken for who I am,
Who I am

Set it up, or play it down,
Just do it right and maybe I'll stick around.
It's hold me back or move me on my way
If I know one thing, it's patience and
Deliverance from all that I'll never have,
'Cause in the end it all comes down
To standing, believing in what you are

And I I don't want your sympathy
I, It's never done much for me
I just want to feel what it's like to be real
To be taken for who I am,
Who I am

I'm wide awake and I,
I don't want your sympathy
No, it's never enough for me, I...
