Foundations by Kate Nash
Thursday night, everything's fine
Except you've got that look in your eye
When I'm telling a story, and you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say
You'll go along with it, then drop it
And humiliate me in (1)__________ of our friends
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like,
"Yeah, intelligent input, darling.
Why don't you just (2)________ another beer then?"
Then you'll call me a bitch
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't (3)________ a shit
My fingertips are holding onto
The (4)____________ in our foundation
And I (5)________ (6)________ I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time (7)________ you're upset and I smile
I know I (8)____________ forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be with (9)________ friends, mate,
'Cause (10)________ are much fitter."
Yes, it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I must admit that I was a bit scared
But it gives me thrills to wind you up
My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I (11)________ that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we (12)__________ I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
Your face is pastey
'Cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise
Don't (13)________ to look at your face, 'cause it's making me sick
You've (14)________ and got sick on my trainers
I (15)________ got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I purposely won't turn the heating on
And (16)________ God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one
My fingertips are (17)______________ onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I (18)____________ let go, but I can't
And every (19)________ we fight I know it's not right
Every time (20)________ you're upset and I smile
I (21)________ I (22)____________ forget, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every (23)________ (24)________ you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
