[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]

I erased you

From my every waking memory

I replaced you

With a vision that you won't see

[Pre-Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]

Pity is a four-letter word

And so is quit

(And so is left, but I'm…)

[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon]

Right where you wanted me

Feed from the inside

Out of bitter sympathy

You want me wrong, but I'm right

[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon]

May I remind you

It doesn't take much time to call?

Can I respect you

If a man was never there at all?

[Pre-Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]

Pity is a four-letter word

And so is quit

I thought you knew that pity was a four-letter word

And so is quit

(And so is left, but I'm…)

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon]

Right where you wanted me

Feed from the inside

Out of bitter sympathy

You want me wrong, but I'm

Right where you wanted me

Feed from the inside

Out of bitter sympathy

You want me wrong, but I'm right

[Refrain: Lajon Witherspoon]

I replaced you

With a vision that you can't see

[Chorus 3: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]

(Right where you wanted me)

Feed me from the inside

(Out of bitter sympathy)

You want me wrong, but I'm

Right where you wanted me

Feed from the inside

Out of bitter sympathy

You want me wrong, but

(I'm out of bitter sympathy)

Right where you wanted me

(Out of bitter sympathy)
