| The Goo Goo Dolls – Sympathy Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i have never heard a song that so epitomizes every thought im having in every single line. i became a goo fan about 6 months a go, and always loved this song but never really related to it until now. I was just in an incredibly deep but not sexual relationship with a girl (ie. we'd talk on the phone everynight for several hours for about 6 months) and eventually decided i wanted more out of it, and she didnt so we're no longer good friends and im torn apart by it. and everytime i talk about it she doesnt want to and gets annoyed. but she still feels awful about the situation this may not be how johnny rzeznic meant it but this is how each line breaks down to me. "Stranger than your sympathy This is my apology" hes hurt by a girl, who feels awful about it, but cant help the way she feels, and hes sorry he cant be what she wants him to be "I'm killing myself from the inside out And all my fears have pushed you out" hes crushed cause he fucked up a great relationship, and knows it cant go back to the way it was because she knows how he truly feels and cant reciprocate "I wish for things that I don't need All I wanted And what I chase won't set me free All I wanted And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees" he wanted more from the relationship, but now that its gone he wishes he'd kept it the way it was, and didnt realize how much it meant to him just the way it was and he wants to go back to her, but wont beg and show how weak he is "I take these things so I don't feel I'm killing myself from the inside out Now my head's been filled with doubt" he drinks (or takes drugs) so he doesnt think about it too much and when he does think about it he cant stop, and he wonders if he really ever really meant anything to her "It's hard to lead the life you choose All I wanted When all your luck's run out on you All I wanted You can't see when all your dreams are coming true" he finds it hard to do anything the ay he wants to because he becomes consumed by this girl and is always thinking about her and what he fucked up, and how much he wishes he could go back to how it was. and he feels she doesnt realize how much she would love him if she gave it a chance and that hes everything she wants but doesnt see it "Oh yeah it's easy to forget yeah You choke on the regrets yeah Who the hell did I think I was" he can forget about her and not feel so bad until he thinks about opportunitys he didnt take and things he didnt say, and he falls way back down to the depths of depression again and is back to where he started. and sfeels stupid for thinking he was something to her that he wasnt. this line absolutely captures that emothion perfectly "All these thoughts you stole from me I'm not sure where I belong Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong" he feels like she has all these things he told her and still has all of his heart he opened up to her, and feels like a piece of him is still lost with her, and doesnt know who to talk to about her because whenever he was feeling down before she was the one he'd go to, but he cant go to her about this. "And i wasn't all the things I tried to make believe I was" now hes doubting himself and thinking maybe i never meant anything to her at all, maybe im just fooling myself into thinking that we were more than we were an absolutely beautiful song that really sums up a very very painful emotion |
