 I fell asleep last night (I fell asleep last night)
 IR1
 But I woke up too late (I woke up too late)
 IR1
 And everything I loved (Everything I loved)
 IR1
 Oh I begin to hate
I  know I sound repetitive
 Cause I'm repeating myself
 And I'm competitive
 I want you all by yourself
 And that alone is just  the problem
 I've  got these woes
 I just  can't solve them
 If I could gather  up the nerve
 I'd put my feelings  into words
 And if I weren't  so young, or stupid,  or restless
 I might be able to just  soon forget this
Just  forget  this,  just forgive this,  just forget  this
Please  just  forget me
 When I'm out  all alone  on the east coast
Please  don't  forgive me
 When you're home  all alone
 And you need me most
 Oh, and you need me most
 Yeah, when you need me most
 Oh, if I only  had the heart
 To find out exactly  who you are
 (You know I'd try now)
 But it's  just fine
 No you  can't save me
 It's no fault  but mine
Please  just blame me
 If I could gather  up the nerve
 I'd put my feelings  into words
 And if I weren't  so young, or stupid,  or restless
 I might be able to just  soon forget this
Just  forget  this,  just forgive this,  just forget  this
Please  just  forget me
 When I'm out  all alone  on the east coast
Please  don't  forgive me
 When you're home  all alone
 And you need me most
 Oh, and you need me most
 Yeah, when you need me most
