Sympathy - The Get Up Kids

Way to fight

You never threatened to stop breathing countless times

When I wouldn’t make a sound to baby eyes

The whole thing is a fading senseless blur of concern

But I’m letting go of her

I don’t know why it is

Isn’t it obvious to me?

It’s sympathy

I’m sure that after this

You don’t fear anything at all resembling

All her might

Was it the force behind the family?

Bound and tied

Keep the bottle down to our surprise

Suspect you had discipline or nerve to convert

I just didn’t think it’d work

For what we give to this

What challeneges persist

What battles we must fight

For what we give to this

A promise to resist

Stand with all your might
