David Charvet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you don't have to see
That I'm hardly breathing
I can't hide, any longer
I am feeling stronger, finally
Don't wanna hear you say
That it's too late
Now, I set you free
Sympathy I'm not after
All I need is the love you promised me
Can't you see what I'm after
If I can't have your heart
Then I don't want your sympathy
Time goes by, so will I
If you don't close your eyes
To the way you're seeing me
I'm alright, still alive
A little hole inside
Oh my heart is healing
Don't wanna hear you say
That it's too late
To say that you're sorry
Now, I set you free
Sympathy I'm not after
All I need is the love you promised me
Can't you see what I'm after
If I can't have your heart
Then I don't want your sympathy
But these few words I say to you
Can only mend my lonely heart
And when you're ready I will fall
Sympathy I'm not after
All I need is the love you promised me
Can't you see what I'm after
If I can't have your heart
Then I don't want your sympathy
Sympathy I'm not after
All I need is the love you promised me
Can't you see what I'm after
If I can't have your heart
Then I don't want your sympathy
Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for
It's your love that I need
Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for
It's your love that I need
Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for
It's your love that I need
The lyrics to David Charvet's song Sympathy seem to be about a broken relationship where the singer is trying to move on. They hint at a past where the singer was giving their all to the relationship, but it fell apart. The first verse indicates that the singer was pretending things were fine and hiding their emotions, but now they've found some strength to face the situation honestly. The chorus asserts that the singer does not want sympathy and that what they really need is the love that was promised to them. This appears to be an ultimatum of sorts - the singer is willing to let go of the relationship entirely if they cannot have the love they were promised.
The second verse and pre-chorus paint a picture of a person who is on the mend, but not completely healed. The singer acknowledges that they will move on if their former love cannot see them as they are now, and is still hung up on the past. Finally, the singer pleads with their former partner to see that all they want is the love promised, not sympathy.
In conclusion, the lyrics of Sympathy explore themes of heartbreak, healing, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The singer deals with feelings of disappointment, but ultimately places self-respect and the need for honesty over the trappings of false comfort.

I can tell you what you wanna hear
I'm willing to lie to you to spare your feelings
So you don't have to see
I'm hiding my true emotions from you
That I'm hardly breathing
I'm struggling to cope with my pain and sadness
I can't hide, any longer
I can't keep pretending that everything is okay
I am feeling stronger, finally
I'm starting to overcome my pain and regain strength
Don't wanna hear you say
I don't want to hear empty apologies
That it's too late
It's not enough to apologize now
To say that you're sorry
Apologies without actions are meaningless
Now, I set you free
I'm moving on from this relationship
Sympathy I'm not after
I don't want pity from you
All I need is the love you promised me
I just want you to fulfill your promises of love
Can't you see what I'm after
Why can't you understand what I want
If I can't have your heart
If your love isn't real and committed
Then I don't want your sympathy
I don't want your fake concern and empty words
Time goes by, so will I
I'll continue to move on and heal with time
If you don't close your eyes
If you don't ignore the truth
To the way you're seeing me
To how I'm really feeling
I'm alright, still alive
I'm doing better and making progress
A little hole inside
But there are still scars and wounds that need healing
Oh my heart is healing
But I'm learning to move on and mend
But these few words I say to you
I'm telling you how I feel
Can only mend my lonely heart
Talking won't fix everything, but it helps me cope
And when you're ready I will fall
When you're ready to commit, I'm willing to try again
Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for
My heart only wants your true and committed love
It's your love that I need
Nothing else will be enough to heal and fulfill me
Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for
I'm repeating myself because it's all that matters
It's your love that I need
Your true love is my only salvation
Can't you see it's your love I'm looking for
I won't stop until you realize how much I need you
It's your love that I need
Your love is the only thing that can make me whole

There were times I had to listen to this song 30 times a day. I still love it.
Jacques van Amerongen
Absolutely one of my most favorite songs. Forgot the title for many years and made the mistake with David Guetta, but now I won't ever forget it!

Эта песня заиграла громко в транспорте, по дороге домой после первого свидания с девушкой. Именно в тот момент, как я начал думать о своем будущем. причем, что я испытал настоящие к ней чувства за очень долгое время. это не передаваемые эмоции. только ради таких моментов хочется жить мне вечно...
