Your Sympathy

I thought we were friends
I thought we were mates
I thought we had love
But it's turned to hate

I thought we could talk
I thought we could chat
I thought we could meet
But you didn't want any of that

Am I just another pawn in your selfish little game?

Is it because I didn't pity you?
Hold your hand all the way through?
Were my visits too few?
Didn't you agree with my point of view?
All you ever wanted from me
Was your tainted sympathy
I was once blind but now I can see
Without you I can live free

I thought we had trust
I thought we had fun
I thought it would last
But now it's all done
I thought you were normal
I thought you were sane
I thought you were funny
But you were playing your game

Did you crush me just for the hell of it?

If I had my way I'd probably lock you up
You're a headcase, a complete and utter nut
And I don't know why you did it to me
Did I not give you your sympathy?
Did I not give you your precious sympathy?

Your sympathy
