Empathy Alanis Morissette
Lyrics
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 colours
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
ref.
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 honour and inquiring
ref.
There was a day where the trust
that was being asked of me
Required too much, you see
to accept your generousity
And to know myself enough
to let you help me
ref.
