Em
Lauren Jauregui Lyrics

I wear my heart on my sleeve
I openly display my emotions and vulnerability

Seems everyone that I meet
It appears that every person I encounter

Thinks that they can take a piece and leave
Believes they can manipulate me and then walk away

I find it hard to believe
I struggle to accept

That they don't know what they're doing
That they are unaware of their actions

That's that shit about empathy
That's the frustrating thing about empathy

Empathy, empathy, empathy
Understanding, compassion, understanding

I wanna, I wanna be free
I desire, I desire to be liberated

From all this weight I carry
From the burden I bear

Of all these emotions
Of these intense feelings

The waves of emotions
The overwhelming surges of emotions

I go through the motions
I pretend and go through the expected actions

And drown in the ocean
And become overwhelmed in the vastness

Of all these emotions
Of these intense feelings

Now I'm feeling broken
Now I am emotionally shattered

Do you even notice?
Are you even aware?

All this emotion
The abundance of intense feelings

I feel too much, I feel too much, I feel too much
I experience an excessive amount of emotions

I never know what to say
I constantly struggle with finding the right words

So I try to push it away
Therefore, I attempt to suppress it

Why did God make me this way?
Why did God create me with such sensitivity?

Does anyone else feel the same?
Is there anyone else who shares this experience?

Feels like I'm going insane
It feels as if I am losing my sanity

Guess that's that shit about empathy
I suppose that's the challenging aspect of empathy

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement

I feel too much
I experience an excessive amount of emotions
