Pretty Pathetic

Artists : Ataris, The : Pretty Pathetic

you should've heard me sobbing as i drove home that night
got in the bed and stayed there, for days i just layed there
half in bed, permanently changed
but we won't get into that now
let's take it from the start
you should've seen me smiling; it's like the world was mine
she used to call me "baby", softly, sometimes
but if i dwell on those days too long, i feel like my life is over
and that's no good, so let's move on
...to the part where i began to sense her distance
i barely can hold on tighter, and that makes it worse
'cause how am i supposed to take it when she says
"this is something i'm going through; it's got nothing to do with you"?
i had an special evening all planned out
desperately determined to reignite some spark between us
she had to feel something for me
a love as strong as ours doesn't just go away
can't just turn it off, unless she was lying all those times
but i don't think so; i really don't think so
the way she used to look at me made me a thousand feet high
the meaning of the word "cool"
not the same geek who fumbled with his words that night
the ugliest night
i said some pretty awkward things
i got the feeling she felt sorry for me
i should've seen it was hopeless and left it alone
but i had to go on, embarrassing myself
i miss what we had, i need you so badly
i miss what we had, i need you so badly
i miss what we had, i need you so badly
i miss what we had, i need you so badly
i must've sounded pretty pathetic, i know
and that's why i don't blame her for what she said
listen to her rambling, "we don't know each other that well"
but you're so easy to talk to
i feel i could tell you almost anything
i hope i haven't put you off
i have a tendency to do that
why don't i just be quiet?
