"Sympathy" Lyrics:
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
And I wished for things that I don't need
(All I wanted)
And what I chased won't set me free
(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?
And stranger than your sympathy
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
We're taught to lead the life you choose
(All I wanted)
You know your love's run out on you
(All I wanted)
And you can't see when all your dreams aren't 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 no where's home and no more wrong
And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the dark 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 just cannot explain in words how much this song means to me
i'm completely agree with you 😁😁
I'd be honored if some GooGoo's fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of their first big hit NAME on my YT channel in tribute to one of the most unique & iconic bands of the last 30 years. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
Iaco B this will be my out song 2020 time to get it over class of 91 👍
I hear you buddy. Like the song Name, every time I listen to it I am blown away.
Got a special place in my heart too. Grew up in the 90's and 2000's was familiar with all their popular singles. Discovered this one way later in 2007, but ever since its certainly been one of my favorite songs of all time. Definitely top 5
I miss music like this
real asfff
The more I listen to the Goo Goo Dolls the more I wonder why they aren't 100x more famous than they are, they deserve to be.
@@user-cd8cm2bj7kHaha that comment was 10 years ago, wonder if they read it
@@user-cd8cm2bj7kyou realize goo goo dolls were literally a pop band for grocery stores, right?
Same!
Their music is very deep and some people can't handle what that can surface within them
They are so underrated.
“ Who the hell did I think I was “ Best line ever.
“it’s easy to forget, when you choke on the regrets” is the best, to me. just so raw and real and relatable
Indeed. Twenty years later, the line and the thing I didn't do still burn in my mind.
Facts.
Johnny riding around Vegas in a cab with strangers is kind of how I feel my life is... friends and lovers come and go, I let them into my life but I'm more of an observer than an engager. It's colorful and fun and also bit sad, knowing that there are so few who I can truly connect with.
Poignant Memories Sir
The most honest song John has ever written. Said that himself.
he is one of the most underrated songwriters of our time... nothing short of brilliant.
this song is amazing. I'm 22 and homeless and I have Mental disorders but i want you to know that this has stopped me from doing permanent things to myself many times. Thank you for making beautiful music Goo Goo Dolls!
you're homeless but u can afford WiFi and a phone/computer?
+Joshua Michael have you ever heard of a library? they have these radical devices known as public computers. :)
Siege Tech Gaming hang in there man! Believe in yourself no matter what
Keep faith and hope alive brethren.
I love you. We care about you. No matter how alone and deprived you may feel. Thoughts and prayers go up every day and night for you. God bless.
✌&❤
I have never needed a song to comfort me like this song.
NEVER needed it as much as you did then !~? that's what I'm guessing is your meaning hope it has and whenever I've needed comfort I turn to music as a musician myself ENJOY and Stay positive LUV!!
he was, and still is, and always will be, one of the most attractive people to me on the entire planet.
Wish Johnny would have aged gracefully. He was such a Gorgeous guy before all the plastic Surgery. Still Love em & their Music. He's a Great guy humble & funny 💙💙💙 Love my Goo Goos 💙💙💙
Jon is a gorgeous guy. Nothing about him is unattractive. He has become healthier. He is happy. And it shows. Everyone sees things differently.
He WAS
*Only 18* 👇👇👇

a beautiful man
20 years later and I'm finally realizing what these lyrics. Unbelievably gut wrenching & beautiful at the same time.
This song is about something we all need every once in a while, but should never ask for
Woo Live in Buffallo reference.
why not ask for it, we're not mind readers
These lyrics remind me so much of my own struggles with addiction and just life and all the conversations I had about it with God. He sympathized and loved me regardless of any failings then or now. He is patient and works change on us from the inside. I slowly realized it just like the guy in the song. He showed me what I really wanted and now He guides me patiently to Him and real life
Amen sister.
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting with you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤘🏻you have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️🌺🌺
🙏🏻
I love the way he sings, " And I get scared, but I'm not crawling on my knees" at the beginning.
It’s hard to lead the life you chose
When all your lucks run out on you
Who's listening in 2024 ? A Cinderella story memories ❤
"It's hard to lead the life you choose... and all your luck's run out on you, and you can't see when all your dreams are coming true."
awesome song, John's the most underrated songwriter ever
And this is one of the most underrated comments ever ....
I love this song
The man has so much soul. I love it!
Agreed
👏👏👏
This song is something amazing when driving home in the afternoon when you haven't had a productive day.
Twenty Years ago Goo Goo Dolls offered Sympathy to the music world. This song is an underrated masterpiece!
This song has a permanent mark in my heart for life. Ever since I had brain surgery, I’ve been in my feelings a whole lot more, but something about this song makes me continue to have faith and to not give up.
I love his smile at the end!😍😍😍
That's how the song makes me feel.
Oh my gosh, me too!! I've always loved his smile at the end of the video...tre cool
Oh my gosh, mee too!!! I have always liked his smile at the end of the video..
Me too
Saw them at a Benefit concert about 10 years ago...the night they debuted Better Days...and half way through this song, John forgot the lyrics...good thing there were enough of us there who could help....it was priceless and wonderfully real.
Aww I guess sometimes he gets nervous
Thats great!
It happens to alot of artists at some point...Nobody's perfect.
2019
*A Cinderella Story*
*Happy New Year* 2019
Ty'Leena Jefferson lol you came back to 2019 to post this comment haha you would
I heard a bit of it and I had to find it finally did
,,under rated song
underrated band.
The Goo Goo Dolls were huge in the 90s and 2000s. I personally grew up with them. Just because they're not as well known as TODAY's music doesn't mean that they are in any way underrated. Popularity doesn't make talent (clearly). Besides, I like that they have a more modest fan base, at least in the younger generation. It makes the fans feel closer to them!
John Rzeznik’s masterpiece of self-acceptance after seemingly endless loss all caused by chasing dreams. That was my sin too… Trying and trying and trying and losing myself in the process. The Goo Goo’s got me through a post-apocalypse phase - 100% alone - alone - and if I ever meet John I’m going to hug him and thank him for saving my dignity through taking a hard look in a busted mirror
Enjoy - still today the tears stream when I hear this - yet they have washed away an immense amount of pain - self induced - and now healed. Thx John. 🙏
i love when john and elvis look at eachother. lol john said in an interview this was his most personal song he ever wrote and that he was afraid to put it on the album. love this man!
yes! that's the money shot 100%
His lyrics are always so deep. ❤️
Why do people always associate music with time, music is timeless.
bro.. you're so right. i was about to say that.
jbenyaa Great minds think alike ;)
***** good music is still around, just not on the radio, sucks but that's why I bought a bluetooth stereo for my truck, haven't used the radio in years haha,
***** I agree with U...I feel the same..
Hey there Stephan, I think I know what you mean. But to me, I think people associate songs from points or memories in their life. Some really good times, some really bad. Maybe a certain song when someone was younger dating someone really special to them.
When you were a child and remember a song you loved on the radio, and you hear it in your adult life and it takes you back to that moment when you heard it when you were young.
One cool moment I'll share is when I was very young, my next door neighbor was an older teen with a cool 70's muscle car who listened to classic hard rock. One day I heard out the window him blasting from his car this incredible cacophony of sound then a steady bass line. I instantly feel in love with whatever it was!
I found out it was Van Halen and the song, "Runnin with the Devil". It made me an instant Van Halen fan, and when I hear that song, it reminds me of that awesome moment in life.
Have a great day Stephan :)
I listen to this song on repeat and each time a new line hits me. Johnny is so beautiful, no other artist can make me feel insecure with a look at the camera.
Right?
The line “I take these things so I don’t feel” really stands out to me
Johns being really vulnerable with this song and it’s amazing
this guy is poet
“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game…”
A Cinderella Story- 2004
This song makes me remember what I felt when I made a terrible decision and the impact it made on all the people I love. Also it reminds me to never ever do it again or do something worse.
It must have been 10 years since I first saw this video. Nowadays, Goo Goo Dolls isn't really what I pick and choose to hear on a daily basis. Not even monthly. But every so often, when it's most needed, it crawls back to the back of my head. And once again, I come back to this really damn old videos from the 2000s era songs. It's soothing, for sure. But what I love the most is seeing how for more than a decade, people have gathered here to comment charming stories. I'm glad TH-cam keeps these videos, with people's thoughts frozen in time, persisted in the comment section. I find comfort seeing how even after all this time, we all find some sympathy here.
That's such a beautiful thought you shared with us and I agree. Thank you
This song is just so beautiful , so so better when compared to 2019 songs , has a feel to it which most songs lack nowadays
As an orphan trying to make it in this life this band has been one that hits harder than ever. He’s not wrong you know, 32 years old and still trying to figure it out.
Lol
@@joeng4057how is that funny
@@texmontana420 can't remember was probably drunk
@stasis0rb, 48, estranged from my wife and children, diagnosed with cancer last year, trying so hard not to loose everything I still have left, they keep screwing with my health insurance, so now They screwed me again on my medication, we are all still trying to figure it out. I will keep you in my prayers my internet friend. 🙏 🙏🙏
@@aladoc6832 thanks bud, whether we are we are far or near I believe we can make it.
his voice speaks the 90s to me
Ryan Shordee this was released in 2002 though.. They were still poppin but this album only went Gold.
His voice is so dreamy 😍
Ok...settle down missy!
Kristin Janine yes it is and he is to :)
It really is
This is my song to God. I constantly screw up and chase after the world and He is patient and merciful. I wanna do right so bad but I fail so often. Thank you for never leaving me Jesus. I love you.
a great song from a very underrated band for real...
great song. one of those songs no matter how many times you play it you never get tired of it.
Goo goo dolls. The best band I cannot explain!!
They were not an A list band but the more you hear the more you realize how good they were. Especially songwriting. Love Goo Goo Dolls!
That is really weird thing to say on a Pokemon video.....
@@THEGREATMAX Pokémon video? What video are you watching? This is a goo boo dolls Video
@@masonslie1146 Weird youtube glitch man, this was actually showing up on a totally different video
@@THEGREATMAX ohh weird lol
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!
Was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Ritchie Sambora.
It never grows old, same feeling I get from listening to it after 10 years. Beautiful and haunting lyrics
Here i'm, 2014 and still listening to their songs.
I think i means something about the quality of their work.
Crashoverall still Jamming in Twenty Seventeen also. Cheers.
2018
Crashoverall here in 2019 my man haha
Crashoverall also in 2020 man lmao😀
2020
Gutterflower was one of my favorite albums from the goo goo dolls. played it constantly. such great times. this song in particular was very meaningful to me as a kid growing up in the 90's. music like this will always be special to me. in times of sadness, I knew I could play my favorite songs and feel a little bit better. that's the great thing about music. it's always here, and even though it's been years since I listened to this song, coming back to it now and hearing it again makes it stand out even more to me. and I remember why I liked the song so much
The older I get there's a new level of realness when I listen to this song! 🖤🖤🖤
Johnny`s smile at the end- freakin adorable!
siiiiiiiiiiiii a mi tambien me encanto!!!
i mean, he's always been an incredibly sexy man, but he's just as sexy now as 20 years ago.
Yeah, he's always had such a beautiful smile
I feel like GooGoo Dolls wrote the soundtrack of not only my childhood but adulthood as well...when I think of the best of the 90s rock they are right at the top. Multiple other bands as well but these guys are quintessential 90s
I love the way he smiles at the end. Johnny Rzeznik seems like such a nice guy!
We were really spoilt for music during this era ❤️
What I chased won’t set me free....
No truer words. 🙏🏻
I was born in 94’ but this is one of my favorite eras of music. It literally brings me back in time, a better time 🤍🤘🏼
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting with you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤘🏻you have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️🌺🌺
Everything you just said!
John said this was a hard song to play live. But he did it and it was so amazing.
22yrs later and still as good as ever.
22 years. 🤯 Time sure flies.
“And I get scared but I’m not crawling on my knees...”
this song brings back so much...
never realized how short of a song it is, though...
xo Cirene same :/
I love John's smile at the very end:)
My favorite video!
Love the song...
The guitar strumming is just perfectly soothing :)
I love this Song!! Why Can't People Make More Music Like This!!
Words can’t express how much this song means to me...
This song should of been a hit. A number 1 HIT. LOVE THIS BAND. THERE SONGS. HIS VOICE. IT ALL
LEGENDARY SONG. ALWAYS BLASTING THIS EACH MONTH FOR A DECADE 🥲 So. Damn. Beautiful.🎸🎸💖💖💖
This song absolutely rocks!! It is tied with Name as my favorite Goo Goo Dolls songs. Such a great song and I listen to it all the time.
My favorite Goo video
There's not very many songs that touch the soul anymore in this world.
This needs waayyyyyy more views
I love this song…
Beautiful song 🎶
Absolutely ❤
Just a great song from a great band from Buffalo New York one of their most underrated albums in my point of view and one of their most underrated songs
All John needs is his guitar... and his amazing =) so talented
2020 vibing.
I fell in love with girls at the bowling alley in 2006 listening to this song on my MP3 player.
Still doing the same thing but now on spotify.
I fell in love with him because he made this video. Man is he a handful as a boy but one of my favorite kids
this song moves my soul
His voice is soooooo smooth I could listen to it forever....
We will all hurt those who we love the most and forgiveness and regret are both divine x
I have one of my best memories with this song
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting with you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤘🏻you have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️🌺🌺
Loved their sound in my teens, now the lyrics I can just feel in a way I couldn’t back then.
What happened to the music industry last years? I want this era back.😭
I'm Humbled.... and i feel john was also when he wrote this.... whatever or whoever made him think to write this... was so very valued... that he questioned himself... bravo.. i say... i feel a better man because of this! And this song! N cheers to anyone reading this... u took that extra step! I salute you!
I agree, I remember listening to their very first album back in the early 90's, I knew they were awesome, but no one knew them until after the 3rd or 4th album. 100x 5 out of 5 stars the best.
I mean his voice is just heaven ❤
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting with you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤘🏻you have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️🌺🌺
This song is my favorite. He is so so so cute.
Ahhhh this song hits me different
I'm only 13 but this music is so amazing, beautiful and meaningful. Thank you so much Goo Goo Dolls for making amazing music!
I love this song. It is a very good description of my feelings after an episode. Sometimes it all just piles up and I’m reminded how I feel like this.
A Cinderella story 🥺 watched this movie when I was little all the time , heard this song and was instantly obsessed and still am 😍
Perfect song for the hard times.
“I wish for things I don’t need.. “
Who in the world would thumbs down this video. Love ya John
THE GOOGOODOLLS, the writers of life & the singers of the soul.
The god damn guitar in this song.......JUST WOW.
Definitely one of the most underrated bands ever. Thry should hsve been massive
how can u dislike this song.
it cheers me up every time
His facial expressions during the video means a lot.... What a great video indeed... And ofcourse a timeless song.....
still the best band out there
I agree with bolch, Johnny R might be the only man in the world I have a man crush on, admiring his beauty and beautiful songs can't even be called gay, it's art at this point.
this has aged beautifully and is more pertinent today than it was when I first heard it.
Johhny and Robbie write all their songs! I've loved the Goo Goo Dolls for longer than I can remember. Johhny Rzeznik is by far one of the most talented and gorgeous human beings on the planet.
How absolutely gorgeous is John in this video
Most definitely!
Goo Goo Dolls were and still are one of my favourite bands.
My top 1 on Spotify. 💙
