You come to me Tears in your eyes Bottom lip quivering Your nose sniffling You tell me the situation I hug you Give you comfort Give you advice Then you walk away Feeling better No more tears No more sniffling No more quivering lip But I'm still I'm stuck in the same place Too heavy to move It's as if I'm a sponge And I take in your sorrow I soak it all up And take it all in So you can breathe a little easier My heart sinks My emotions blur My eyelids get heavy I personalize everything I can't separate my problems From yours Everything you feel I feel Everything you say Affects my mood But I still continue to do it No matter how big the toll is Because I care about my friends Sometimes I wonder if it'd be better To live in isolation Where I'm alone And don't absorb everyone else's emotions I know It's just a funny joke That I think about often I'm depressed when I'm alone Because I think no one cares I'm depressed with friends Because I feel everything they feel So which is better? Personalizing everyone else's problems? Or isolating myself from the world?

Personalization or Isolation
You come to me Tears in your eyes Bottom lip quivering Your nose sniffling You tell me the situation I hug you Give you comfort Give you advice Then you walk away Feeling better No more tears No more sniffling No more quivering lip But I'm still I'm stuck in the same place Too heavy to move It's as if I'm a sponge And I take in your sorrow I soak it all up And take it all in So you can breathe a little easier My heart sinks My emotions blur My eyelids get heavy I personalize everything I can't separate my problems From yours Everything you feel I feel Everything you say Affects my mood But I still continue to do it No matter how big the toll is Because I care about my friends Sometimes I wonder if it'd be better To live in isolation Where I'm alone And don't absorb everyone else's emotions I know It's just a funny joke That I think about often I'm depressed when I'm alone Because I think no one cares I'm depressed with friends Because I feel everything they feel So which is better?
