Here you are pushing twenty one
  And you've got nothing left to do
  Say the sun shines last on you
  You're popping pills to make it true
  
  But don't leave here with my advice
  As if it's right to listen to
  Because I could never live up to this
  I couldn't stand for this
  I couldn't give respect to you
  
  What do you get from me
  This much I'll never see
  What do you get for being here
  Signed sealed sympathy
  
  Here we are talking so sincerely
  Like a lie could break us two
  I could never lie to forgiving eyes
  But I can lie so well to you
  
  Friends can mean such different things
  But friends have never been like this
  Because I know that it's a different thing
  That only pain could bring
  And it's a pain that starts with you
  
  What do you get from me
  This much I'll never see
  What do you get for being here
  Signed sealed sympathy
  
  This is the way
  This is the price
  No one ever makes it taking losers advice
  This is the point that can't be refused
  Sympathy is something that can never be used
  
  Here you are pushing twenty two
  And there's a world that's closing fast
  You never had the time to
  Sit this long
  To find that you belong
  And now that time has passed
  
  What do you get from me
  This much I'll never see
  What do you get for being here
  Signed sealed sympathy
