Lyrics - Sympathetic Character

Sympathetic Character [5:11]
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie
	I was afraid you'd hit me if i'd spoken up
	I was afraid of your physical strength I was afraid
	you'd hit below the belt I was afraid of your
	sucker punch I was afraid of you reducing me
	I was afraid of your alocohol breath I was afraid
	of your complete disregard for me I was afraid
	of your temper I was afraid of handles being
	flown off of I was afraid of holes being punched
	into walls I was afraid of your testosterone

	I have as much rage as you have
	I have as much pain as you do
	I've lived as much hell as you have
	and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

	chorus:
	You were my best friend
	You were my lover
	You were my mentor
	You were my brother
	You were my partner
	You were my teacher
	You were my very own sympathetic character

	I was afraid of verbal daggers I was afraid of the
	calm before the storm I was afriad for my own
	bones I was afraid of your seduction I was afraid
	of your coersion I was afraid of your rejection
	I was afraid of your intimidation I was afraid of
	your punishment I was afraid of your icy silences
	I was afraid of your volume I was afraid of your
	manipulation I was afraid of your explosions

	'cause I have as much rage as you have
	I have as much pain as you do
	I've lived as much hell as you have
	and i've kept mine bubbling under for you
	
	chorus

	You were my keeper
	You were my anchor
	You were my family
	You were my saviour
	And therein lay the issue
	And therein lay the problem
