Pretty Pathetic

You should've heard me sobbing

Outside your home that night

Got in the bed and stayed there

For days I just layed there

Having been perimently 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 tonight

I feel like my life is over

And that's not good

So let's move on

To the part where I began to sense

Her distance

I've barely can hold on tighter

And that makes it worse cause how am I supposed to take it when she says

"It's just something i'm going through, it's got nothing to do with you"

I had a special evening all planned out

Desperately determined to re-ignite

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 lieing all those times

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 feel she felt sorry for me

I should've seen it was hopeless And left it alone but I had to go on embarrasing myself

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 your Emily we don't know eachother that well but your so easy to talk to

I feel I can tell you almost anything

I hope I haven't but you off

I have the tendancy to do that

Why don't I just be quiet."
