ZAB - SCUICIDAL EMPATHY

You tell me that your days feel heavy I listen close and take the weight Your tired voice at 2 AM Becomes another scar I can’t erase I smile so you don’t see the shift While something inside me starts to drift Suicidal empathy, it’s slowly breaking me I swallow all the hurt you hide So you can sleep peaceful through the night I trade my quiet peace away Just to keep your dark at bay… Suicidal empathy You laugh like nothing’s wrong at all But I feel the cracks behind your eyes Every fear you never speak Ends up living somewhere deep in mine I hold your silence like it’s mine Lose a little more each time Suicidal empathy, it’s slowly breaking me I swallow all the hurt you hide So you can sleep peaceful through the night I trade my quiet peace away Just to keep your dark at bay… Suicidal empathy I wonder if you’ll ever know The nights I lie here feeling low Carrying what you won’t show Suicidal empathy… it’s quietly breaking me I give away the best of me Hoping you’ll feel a little free I’d dim my own light every day… Just to watch you shine okay
