Sad and lonely is your only truth
Hold on to your youth, until it fades away
Never get sad, it's turned your friends on you
The girl that they knew has somehow lost her way

CHORUS

To hear the queen of sympathy
Love is waiting to be forgiven
Please the queen of sympathy
She's wide awake and needs attention now

To make us suffer, get the upper hand
You cried on demand, but we're so sick of that
To make us suffer, get the upper hand
You cried on demand, but we're so sick of that

CHORUS

To hear the queen of sympathy
Love is waiting to be forgiven
Please the queen of sympathy
She's wide awake and needs attention now

We heard you somehow did things that you really didn't want to
You couldn't hold out, and now you're looking for a rescue
So look around now, and see there's no-one really there for you
So what will you do when your wedding is over?

CHORUS

To hear the queen of sympathy
Love is waiting to be forgiven
Appease the queen of sympathy
She's wide awake and needs attention now

The queen has slipped away, away, away
The queen has slipped away, away, away
The queen has slipped away, away, away
