yelnats. - sympathy lyrics

[verse 1]
you got that promotion
i lied about my paycheck
said that i’m keeping up
but my wallet’s nearly weightless
every year that goes by
the gap will start to widen
age will shine a spotlight
on the secrets i’ve been hiding

but i
would never tell you
what if i’m right?
and i don’t want to choose

[chorus]
i’m hoping i don’t
need your sympathy
but time’s not slowing down
what if i
lost my focus
looking for your sympathy?
that won’t sit with me
i won’t, i won’t, i won’t

[verse 2]
i’m thinking by midnight
i’ll be downing mixed drinks
just a couple drinks more
i’ll be thinking i can fix things
clean out my room
anything that can define me
drag ’em one by one to the middle of the street
i’d smash this guitar
take a match to all my music
take these calloused hands
and i’d cover ’em with new skin
tear up every book
that has sentimental value
vonnegut and king
i’d be better off without you

but i
would never tell you
what if i’m right?
and i don’t want to choose

[chorus]
i’m hoping i don’t
need your sympathy
but time’s not slowing down
what if i
lost my focus
looking for your sympathy?
that won’t sit with me
i won’t, i won’t, i won’t

[bridge]
don’t you remember the way it felt?
living with unshaven faces
we were blacked out in the bas+m+nt
equals by the night
don’t you remember the way it felt?
living with unshaven faces
we were blacked out in the bas+m+nt
equals by the night
[final chorus]
i’m just hoping
i don’t need your sympathy
but time’s not slowing down
i know time’s not slowing down
what if i
lost my focus
looking for your sympathy?
that won’t sit with me
i won’t, i won’t, i won’t
i won’t
