I'll Give You Sympathy Lyrics

To wear the nights all away
Darker hidden secrets that rest in her
I’ve seen it all now
To have her gloat around this scene
Stare through the faces of deceit
She cheats the ones who stand around
I see it all now
I see it all now

Cause I'm sick and I'm getting tired
Of their bickering down my ears
They’re drowning me with their thoughts
Sometimes I feel like I'm getting old
When you spit in my face
You’re wearing yourself out as well as me
All you want is more
All you want is more
All you want is more
Sympathy!
I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy
Until the day that I
See you there
See you there

I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy

Played off the ups
And downs
And from the moments from my past
She cheats the ones who stand around
I see it all now
I see it all now

Fear Invicted Into A Perfect Stranger

To wear the nights all away 
Darker hidden secrets that rest in her
I’ve seen it all now
To have her gloat around this scene
Stare through the faces of deceit 
She cheats the ones who stand around
I see it all now
I see it all now

I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy
I'll give you sympathy

Played off the ups
And downs
And from the moments from my past
She cheats the ones who stand around
I see it all now
I see it all now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
