Goo Goo Dolls - Sympathy Lyrics
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
(all I wanted)
And what I chase won't set me free
(it's all I wanted)
And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees
Oh, yeah
Everything's all wrong, yeah
Everything's all wrong, yeah
Where the hell did I think I was?
I take these things, so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And now my head's been filled with doubt
It's hard to lead the life you choose
(all I wanted)
And all your luck's run out on you
(all I wanted)
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true
Oh, yeah
It's easy to forget, yeah
When you choke on the regrets, yeah
Who the hell did I think I was?
And stranger than your sympathy
And all these thoughts you stole from me
And I'm not sure where I belong
And nowhere's home and I'm all wrong
And I was in love with things I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me
Mmm, yeah
Stranger than your sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy
Mmm hmmm mmm

I think it was funny when he and "Elves" shared awkward glances.
All John needs is his guitar... and his amazing =) so talented
I love this song
Johnny is one hot dude💓love loooove this song ...
When you choke on the regrets💔
Always a step ahead. Literally sang this to me, I knew the words. Then I didn't understand the meaning until later on and I can fully relate.
I take these things so I don't feel
His facial expressions during the video means a lot.... What a great video indeed... And ofcourse a timeless song.....
♥♥♥
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
And yes, I agree, a VERY UNDERRATED song...
Sympathy is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard & one of my favourites. Thanks Johnny Rzeznik for writing it & shari ng it with the world!
Freshman Year .
God I miss those amazing days
This song is just so beautiful , so so better when compared to 2019 songs , has a feel to it which most songs lack nowadays
A Cinderella story 🥺 watched this movie when I was little all the time , heard this song and was instantly obsessed and still am 😍
This song doesn't get enough cred...❤
❤️ La nueva cenicienta ❤️
**listening to music** I always liked the music video to this song. I know how did I end up in this mess in Vegas in a cab? If I was sitting in the cab thats what was going through my mind. Sick and tired of the bullshit.
"And I wished for things that I don't need, and what I chase won't set me free"
What a wonderful line.
I EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He said, this song is one of the hardest songs to sing for him... his personal struggles in life. I think I understand some of them I know I do.
Please take a leap guys and make music like this again. The industry is saturated with pop, we need a change in pace, change in feeling and sound.
AMAZING Jonhny ♥♥♥ beautiful 😍😍
Absolutely!
LOVE THIS SONG
Do you know how much effort it takes to look like you don't give a shit?
LONG FOREVER GOO GOO DOLLS
Music for life!
“ Who the hell did I think I was “ Best line ever.
I drove my girlfriend away. I let my fears get in the way of what I was trying to protect. I cant believe I ruined it. That girl was the best fucking thing that ever happened to me. Who the hell did I think I was?
💞💋💞
Love love!!
The most honest song John has ever written. Said that himself.

Funny thing with this song at yesterday's concert Johnny said he doesn't really know what this song is about, he said it must have been all the drugs😂 at the time. I love them so much, they truly are amazing.
