Cold Hearted Empath by Ariel Zevon (c) 2017
I’m not a girl, I’m not a woman
No I, no I
I’m not a doll, I’m not a bitch
No I, no I
I’m not a wife, I’m not a whore
No I’m nobody’s no one
Nobody’s no one, no
I’m not a fighter, not a lover
No I, no I
I’m not a preacher, not a pupil
No I, no I
I’m not a freak, I’m not a geek
No I’m nobody’s no one
Nobody’s no one, no
I’m not a buddy, not a bully
No I, no I
I’m not a saint, I’m not a sinner
No I, no I
I’m not an angel, not a devil
No I’m nobody’s no one
Nobody’s no one
I’m a cold-hearted empath
With my eyes open wide
And my heart sealed shut
Gonna take it all in
‘Til I’m full to the brim
Tip me on over
Let my soul pour out
I’m a cold hearted empath
A cold hearted empathy
If I lace up your boots
You can see through my lenses
If I put on your shadow
You can carry my heart
Will we still fall to pieces
When we step off the edge
I’m not a boss, I’m not a bum
No I, no I
I’m not a master, not a slave
No I, no I
I’m not a wolf, I’m not a sheep
No I’m nobody’s
I’m not a girl, I’m not a woman
No I, no I
I’m not a doll, I’m not a bitch
No I, no I
I’m not a wife, I’m not a whore
No I’m nobody’s no one
Nobody’s no one
I’m a cold-hearted empath
With my eyes open wide
And my heart sealed shut
Gonna take it all in
‘Til I’m full to the brim
Tip me on over
Let my soul pour out
I’m a cold hearted empath
A cold hearted empath
