words i might have ate

green day'in kerplunk albümünden bir şarkı. sözleri;

now it seems i can't keep my mind above you
my brain drifts back to better days we've been through
like sitting on blacktop of school grounds
the love i bitched about i finally found

but now it's gone and i take the blame
and there's nothing i can do but take the pain
why?

now i dwell on what you remind me of
a sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
as for me... i am blind without a cause
and now i realize what i have lost

it was something real that i could have had
now i play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
why?

tell me the words i might have said
it's pumping pressure deep inside my head
was it bad enough to be too late?
just tell me [the words i might have ate.] [x3]

but now it's gone and i take the blame
and there's nothing i can do but take the pain
[why?] [x7]
