Zaki - Sympathy Lyrics

You were never real with me
You could never see what I see
You could never take the heat
Tolerance for you would be a feat
Yet I thought that it could work
That was optimistic
Now I only see your worst 'cause you did it to me
Is it really too hard to try and make an effort?
Try to change for the good of the world
You were just playing the part
Tainted by your ripped-up heart, heart

I don't need your sympathy
You'd be going too far
I don't need your empathy
You'd be trying too hard
I don't need your energy
It's way too dim for me

I find life in colours
They set me free
Rip the chains off of the pain you inflicted on me
To hide is to tire
And I choose to live my light in the Sun
Keep that mouth tied up
And keep those thoughts where they belong
You couldn't hurt me if you really tried
Me and my people been through this some time
We keep ourselves real grounded, feet on the floor
Nice in the background and nice at the door

I don't need your sympathy
You'd be going too far
I don't need your empathy
You'd be trying too hard
I don't need your energy
It's way too dim for me
I don't need your knock-me-downs
I'll do as I want
I don't need your lecturing
Your shadow can't haunt
I don't need your bigotry
My time is too short to waste it on you

I don't need your sympathy
You'd be going too far
I don't need your empathy
You'd be trying too hard
I don't need your energy
It's way too dim for me
I don't need your knock-me-downs
I'll do as I want
I don't need your lecturing
Your shadow can't haunt
I don't need your bigotry
My time is too short to waste it on you
