It’s good to feel what others feel It just seems I do too much I want to show I have a grip And then I break down into mush They get surprised with a brand-new little puppy and I feel the joy upon their face Or the pain of losing someone close to them Their tears I seem to chase I feel their pure emotions Overcome with all their woes. I funnel all their feelings. I can't help it if it shows (I can't help it if it shows) Songs I’ve heard a thousand times before feel heavy to me now and they even make me cry. They are full of special meaning I had yet to understand. Back then I didn’t even care enough to try. (Back then I didn't even try!) [Chorus] It’s an empathetic blessing It’s an empathetic curse I feel when they are ecstatic I get when they feel hurt [Bridge] This old man shows emotions others hope they will not see Now I guess I must accept that it's just the way I'm going to be [Chorus] It’s an empathetic blessing It’s an empathetic curse I feel when someone’s happy. I get when they feel worse. [Outro] Man! what’s up with that?! How I wish I could hold back! Now I guess I must accept it's just the way I'm going to be. Yes, I guess I will accept it's just the way I'm going to be .
