Cover art for Empathy lyrics by Destination California

that's a good meaning, i can see how you would think it (or be it....haha) But i actually wrote it to mean something different (but that isnt to say your interpretation is wrong). What i meant it to be is a guy that is in love with this girl but she doesnt feel the same. He has been in the same situation as her, and he understands. but she doesnt realize his real love for her. see below "And when your lonely and you need me, When there’s no one else around, I have empathy for you. Because I have been there too, And I feel for you. And someday you’ll have empathy for me, too."
