Empathy

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 oh oh
This invitation
Is one that I’ve stopped fighting oh oh

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by, your empathy
Ha-a this intimacy ha-a-a-a

There were so many times I thought I had died, not being truly known
There've been so many moments, forever lonely in my vocation

You come along
To celebrate each feeling ha-a
And there you are
All honoured and inquiring ha-a-a-a

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by, your empathy
Ha-a this intimacy ha-a-a-a

There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me,
Required too much,
You seem to accept your generosity,
To know myself enough
To let you have me

Thank you for seeing me
How I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Ha-a this intimacy ha-a-a-a
