What Do You Say When I’m Not There? Songtext
von Baio

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

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

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 thinkin′, 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 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

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
