Real Sympathy by The Gromble

I can tell you what you wanna hear
And I can fake this for another year, but I would rather die
And I’ve been sitting on this fence so long
And spent so very many nights alone
I am not surprised

But hey

You get to numbing up your insides
Ran to the river but the river ran dry
Heard your calls and heard your cries
Real sympathy’s so hard to find

Tiny shards of human legs and human arms
And eyes that never see the stars
They’re fading in and out of focus
Bathed in rum just like the day that we begun
But I will never be the one
And you’re too comfortable to notice

But hey

You get to numbing up your insides
Ran to the river but the river ran dry
Heard your calls and heard your cries
Real sympathy’s so hard to find
Hey
You get to plugging in your insight
Throw out the logic cause it never felt right
On your own for the only time
And real sympathy’s so hard to find
