Smoking Popes - Pretty Pathetic LYRICS

You should have heard me sobbing

As I drove home that night

Got into bed and stayed there

For days I just laid there

Having been permanently changed

But we won't get into that now

Let's take it from the start



You should have seen me smiling

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 begin to sense

Her distance

I panic and hold on tighter

But that makes it worse

How am I supposed to take it

When she said:



"This is something I'm going through,

It's got nothing to do with you"



I had a 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

You 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 through his words that night

The ugliest night



I said some pretty awkward things

I got the feeling that she felt sorry for me

I should have 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 must have sounded pretty pathetic, I know

That's why I don't blame her for what she said

But listen to me rambling

We don't know each other that well

But you're so easy to talk to

I feel like I can 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?
