Pitiful Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, so, so sorry, but your lady's with me
Actually that is just where you wanted her to be
But she told you already, you need to just forget it
So she told me that she's M.I.N.E
When it comes to other guys she's only there to see
When it comes to the embedded and I bet it'll never happen so

[Chorus]
It's too bad that she's on my arm
But for you she's not, but for you she's not
I felt bad when I heard you lost
But for you she's not, for you I just don't feel pity
You're so pitiful (Pitiful, pitiful)
She's so pretty
You're so pitiful (Pitiful, pitiful)

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
So, so, so shitty to be you right now
Soon you will see pictures of us kissing on the mouth
But she made it very clear it wasn't happenin' this year
Or even any time in the next ten centuries
Outside of the box, she started venturing
I texted back the lettering: "M.I.N.E.?"
She said "Yes, that's me"
[Chorus]
It's too bad that she's on my arm
But for you she's not, but for you she's not
I felt bad when I heard you lost
But for you she's not, for you I just don't feel pity
You're so pitiful (Pitiful, pitiful)
She's so pretty
You're so pitiful (Pitiful, pitiful)

[Bridge]
I hate her new boyfriend, he listens to the song and will hope to God that she never sings along
He plays guitar too, he played along to all our favorite music
On a burnt CD, just him and his acoustic
I listen intently to every sentence she tells me but so does he
I would tell him to go away but that is too low for me
I know you hate me out of jealousy but don't be please
It all might change if you just spoke to me

[Chorus]
It's too bad that she's on my arm
But for you she's not, but for you she's not
I felt bad when I heard you lost
But for you she's not, for you I just don't feel pity
You're so pitiful (Pitiful, pitiful)
She's so pretty
You're so pitiful (Pitiful, pitiful)
[Outro]
Fuckin' pitiful, pitiful pity
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful pity
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful pity
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful pity
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful pity
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful pity
Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful pity

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Pitiful” was released in 2011 via SoundCloud, years before the band were globally recognized:

The track appears to be about a girl torn between two romantic interests, one of them being frontman Jesse Rutherford. Musically, the song is much more upbeat compared to the rest of their discography.
