Pretty Pathetic Tab

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,           |  2x
                                            |
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?
