I made it back to life
After a while recovering
When someone burns your pride
You know an ego's hard to mend
Was only tryna be nice
Took me all night to work the nerve
No need to patronise
I won't take less than I deserve
If I can't have it all don't give meSympathy, sympathy
I never asked for pity from you
Sympathy, sympathy
Cut me loose, don't be so cruel, oh
I know you mean no harm
And let me down so easy
Still to reject my charms
It's hard with no good reasoning
But don't worry it's cool
Just need to make you understand
That there's no substitute (no substitute)
Can't crush my heart then hold my hand
You can turn me down, just don't give meSympathy, sympathy
I never asked for pity from you
Sympathy, sympathy
Cut me loose, don't be so cruel, ohOh, you treat me so cold
You might as well go
I'd be better alone
Yeah, can't play with my pride
Then throw me aside
I'm here asking why
Oh, you treat me so cold
You might as well go
I'd be better alone
Yeah, can't play with my pride
Then throw me aside
I'm here asking whyOh, you treat me so cold
You might as well go
I'd be better alone
Yeah
