Lyrics

I know I'm pathetic, I knew when she said it

Reflecting on self-awareness, acknowledging a sense of inadequacy mentioned by someone else.

A loser, a bum's what she called me when I drove her home

Recalling derogatory labels received while driving the person home, feeling demeaned.

There's no more waiting and sure no more wasting

Expressing impatience and frustration, realizing efforts have not changed the situation.

I've done all I can but she still wants to be left alone

Despite efforts, the person desires solitude, indicating a strained relationship.


You've got, you've got, you've got to help me out

Seeking assistance, perhaps emotionally or for understanding.

And I'll try not to argue

Committing to avoid arguments in the request for help.

No one, no one, no one likes a dropout

Highlighting societal disapproval for dropouts, acknowledging mistakes as challenging to rectify.

Mistakes are hard to undo

Emphasizing the difficulty in undoing errors.


Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

Resisting negativity and asserting a sense of belonging.

I think I'm different but I'm the same and I'm wrong

Recognizing perceived differences but acknowledging personal shortcomings.

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

Reiterating a refusal to be pulled down, reaffirming a sense of belonging.

I think I'm different, this is where I belong

Revisiting the theme of feeling different yet asserting a place of belonging.


I think it's disgusting, believing and trusting

Criticizing the act of believing and trusting, possibly in the context of a relationship.

If I gave a fuck there would be nothing for me to prove

Expressing indifference and a lack of concern, asserting independence from validation.

Although it's amusing it's slightly confusing

Finding amusement in a situation but acknowledging confusion.

I've done all I can but her ego is still hard to move

Despite efforts, facing challenges in dealing with the other person's ego.


You've got, you've got, you've got to help me out

Reiterating a plea for assistance, emphasizing the need for cooperation.

And I'll try not to argue

Committing to avoid conflict while seeking help.

No one, no one, no one likes a dropout

Highlighting societal disapproval for dropouts, reiterating the difficulty of undoing mistakes.

Mistakes are hard to undo

Reiterating the challenge of correcting errors.


Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

Asserting a sense of belonging despite external pressures to the contrary.

I think I'm different but I'm the same and I'm wrong

Acknowledging perceived differences but admitting to personal faults.

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

Reaffirming resistance to being pulled down, emphasizing a sense of belonging.

I think I'm different, but this is where I belong

Revisiting the theme of feeling different yet asserting a place of belonging.


Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

Reiterating a refusal to be pulled down, reaffirming a sense of belonging.

I think I'm different, this is where I belong

Revisiting the theme of feeling different yet asserting a place of belonging.
