This is not empathy
this is not love you've known before
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable
This is not empathy
this is not love that you've been thaught
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable
In all the years you've known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth
This is not empathy
this is not love that you've been thaught
this is not destiny
It's not the fate that you had fought
In all the years you've known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth
[- - -]
Then when you came to me
It was not love you had in mind
that was not destiny
that was not fate, we both were blind
