What Do You Say When I’m Not There?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 a but I did not achieve I know you're so perceptive and you hide what you've seen It's true, you always play it so cool I need to know the truth [Chorus] 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 hurt dog with a pitiful stare I could sit and search for answers, but baby, it's the truth I would rather lose my mind than lose you, ooh [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Verse 2] 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 thinkin', yes, I'm still so naive It's true, I know that you can be cruel I'm so afraid of you [Chorus] 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 hurt dog with a pitiful stare I'm on a rooftop shoutin' down to the street "I tried to solve the problem but the problem was me" I'm out here dyin', tell me, please, honestly How can I solve the problem when the problem is me? I could sit and search for answers, but baby, it's the truth I would rather lose my mind than lose you, ooh [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Outro] 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 hurt dog with a pitiful stare I'm on a rooftop shoutin' down to the street "I tried to solve your problem but your problem was me" I'm out here dyin', tell me, please, honestly How can I solve your problem when your problem is me? I could sit and search for answers, but baby, it's the truth I would rather lose my mind than lose you, ooh
