lyrics

Some people think that some people don't make sense
And it's true
Some people won't see into some people's heads
They just see fools
But for some the counting and the clearing and the twitching are not a choice
We all have our own mantras, girls won't be girls and boys won't be boys
It's not a choice

Try to see the disease before you leave your opinion of this insanity
It's all I need
A little empathy to fill the vacancy of everyone who isn't listening
It's all I need

Some people think that some people who can't sleep
Just need to drink some warm milk
Some people think that some people who won't eat
Just need to stop being so stupid and get their fill
But for some feeding these needs bears an anxiety that spirals out of control
We all have our own hurdles, boys won't be boys and girls won't be girls
It takes a toll

Try to see the disease before you leave your opinion of this insanity
It's all I need
A little empathy to fill the vacancy of everyone who isn't listening

It's all I need, someone who will take the time to understand
It's all I need, someone who will stand beside me and hold my hand
Help me through the best they can
Not lose patience when I lose my head
It's all I need, someone who will take the time to help me understand
Why I'm such a mess

Try to see the disease before you leave your opinion of this insanity
It's all I need
A little empathy to fill the vacancy of everyone who isn't listening
It's all I need
