Lyrics

Empathy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost

There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face

There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint

And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait

You come along and invite these parts out of hiding

This invitation is one that I’ve stopped fighting….

Thank you for seeing me

I feel so less lonely

Thank you for getting me

I’m healed by your empathy

Oh this intimacy

There were so many times: thought I’d die not being truly known

There’ve been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation

You come along and celebrate each feeling

And there you are all honor and inquiring……

Thank you for seeing me

I feel so less lonely

Thank you for getting me

I’m healed by your empathy

Oh this intimacy

There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me

Required too much you see

To accept your generosity

And to know myself enough to let you help me

Thank you for seeing me

I feel so less lonely

Thank you for getting me

I’m healed by your empathy

Oh this intimacy
