Ask me about it (Cover)

verse]Ask me how I first knew I had caught feelings for you. You were away for the weekend with your boyfriend. And the jealousy was slow to recognize. But then lingered, like a nick from a kitchen knife. [verse] Ask me about the day when you called me. And I lied, Told you I had to go. [verse] Maybe I sounded fine but I was crying inside. And truthfully I was begging you to know. [break, backup vocals] [prechorus] I'll never tell you. You'll get distant and withdrawn. Always so careful Don't want to lead me on. [chorus] I'll play dress-up by myself While you keep house with somebody else. And both of us will keep on playing pretend. [break, backup vocals] [verse] Ask me how it feels When you can't sleep. And you reach for me Through phone lines No one else can see. [verse] We've been chased by different monsters But I guess it's close enough. They've left us starving for warmth But wary of touch. [verse] I'd find the mug you love Bring you teeeeee. With no expectations. Placed beside you, so gentlyeeee. [prechorus] I'll never tell you. You'll resent the strain. Always subjected To the irrelevance of my pain.. [chorus] I'll play dress-up by myself While you keep house with somebody else. And both of us will keep on Playing pretend. And both of us will keep on playing pretend. I'll keep on playing pretend. [fade to end] You were out with him on Friday night. And it nicked me like a kitchen knife. [verse] Ask me about the time when you called me on your drive. Just so you wouldn't be alone. [break] I sounded fine, but was jammed up in a lie [prechorus] And goddammit! I was begging you to know.
