I can tell you what wanna hear, so you don't have to see   That I'm hardly breathing, I can't hide, any longer   I am feeling stronger, finally.      Don't wanna hear you say that it's too late   To say that you're sorry now, I set you free...      Sympathy, I'm not after all I need is the love you promised me.   Can't you see, what I'm after If I can't have your heart   Then I want your sympathy.      Times goes by, so will I, if you don't close your eyes   To the way you're seeing me, I'm alright, still alive   A little hole inside, oh my heart is healing.      Don't wanna hear you say that it's too late,   To say that you're now, I set you free...      Sympathy, I'm not after all I need is the love you promised me.   Can't you see, what I'm after If I can't have your heart   Then I want your sympathy.      But these few words I say to you   Can only mend my lonely heart and you're ready I will fall      Sympathy, I'm not after all I need is the love you promised me.   Can't you see, what I'm after If I can't have your heart   Then I want your sympathy.      Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for, it's your love that I need   She's so damn beautiful.
