Lyrics
You came in hot and I could not believe
You know I'm super sensitive
And eager to please
It's true
I'm such a misty-eyed fool

I took a shot but I did not achieve
I know you're so perceptive
And you hide what you see
It's true
You always play it so cool
I need to know the truth

What do you say when I'm not there?
Oh, wow, I'm so pathetic, it's so bad that I care
What do you say when I'm not there?
Oh, wow, I'm like a hit dog with a pitiful stare

I could sit and search for answers
But baby, here's the truth
I would rather lose my mind than lose you
Ooh

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I lost the plot and you saw me for me
You know I'm like a sad clown
With his heart on his sleeve
It's true
Sometimes I think I'm a tool

You're hot to trot and I'm sedentary
I wonder what you're thinking
Yes, I'm still so naive
It's true
I know that you can be cruel
I'm so afraid of you

What do you say when I'm not there?
Oh wow, I'm so pathetic, it's so bad that I care
What do you say when I'm not there?
Oh, wow, I'm like a hit dog with a pitiful stare

I'm on a rooftop shouting down to the street
"I tried to solve the problem but the problem was me"
I'm out here dying, tell me, please, honestly
How can I solve the problem when the problem is me?

I could sit and search for answers
But baby, here's the truth
I would rather lose my mind than lose you
Ooh

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

What do you say when I'm not there?
Oh, wow, I'm so pathetic
It's so bad that I care
What do you say when I'm not there?
Oh, wow, I'm like a hit dog with a pitiful stare

I'm on a rooftop shouting down to the street
"I tried to solve your problem but your problem was me"
I'm out here dying, tell me, please, honestly
How can I solve your problem when your problem is me?

I could sit and search for answers
But baby, here's the truth
I would rather lose my mind than lose you
