Pretty Pathetic Lyrics - Smoking Popes

You should've heard me sobbing 

As I drove home at 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've 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 where I begin to sense her distance 

I panic and hold on tighter 

That makes it worse 

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 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 

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 that 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 

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 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?
