Текст песни Feel Things - Jacob Restituto

She said I was an empath
Didn't know what that meant
But sometimes I be living
Too much in my head
I could feel what you feel
Without any words
I know when you're happy
And when it hurts

Growing up I didn't really
Know why I was different
Or the way that I would feel things when
Everybody else just listened
I would run through my mind
Like memories inherited
And their stories became mine like
A tragedy unmerited
And the more that I thought
Just meant the more that I'd feel when
Even the fake stories to me
They felt so real and
I would try to ignore them
But it was no use
Every image imprinted on me like
Mental abuse
And honestly, I'd modestly
Try to cover up the pain
'Cause the more that I'd think about it
The more that I felt so strange how come
Nobody else felt this way
When I lived it every day
But it wasn't 'til I opened up
Would I ever be okay

She said I was an empath
Didn't know what that meant
But sometimes I be living
Too much in my head
I could feel what you feel
Without any words
I know when you're happy
And when it hurts

I was quiet and I was pensive
So as one of my defenses I'd be
Overly insensitive
Cracking jokes at their expense
And I'd be the biggest class clown
'Cause I fed off their attention
And I would puff my chest out
Faking smiles as prevention
'Cause if I could
Make it about them
Then it wasn't about me
And I could suppress the loudest voice
Of insecurity and I would
Avoid the sting
That every word would bring
'Cause the introspective sensitive
He was in full-swing

She said I was an empath
Didn't know what that meant
But sometimes I be living
Too much in my head
I could feel what you feel
Without any words
I know when you're happy
And when it hurts

Until my late twenties
I thought that it was wrong
The way all of my feelings to me
They came on so strong
But it was actually a strength
In a creative way
So now I embrace the sensitivity
And it's here to stay
