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 (1)__________________ me in front of our friends

Then I'll use that voice (2)________ you find annoying
And say something like,
"Yeah, intelligent input, darling.
Why don't you just have (3)______________ beer then?"

Then you'll call me a bitch
And everyone we're (4)________ will be embarrassed
And I won't (5)________ a shit

My (6)____________________ are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And (7)__________ time we fight I know it's not right
Every time (8)________ you're (9)__________ and I smile
I (10)________ I (11)____________ forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so (12)________ lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be (13)________ your friends, mate,
'Cause they are much fitter."
Yes, it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I must (14)__________ that I was a bit scared
But it gives me thrills to (15)________ you up

My fingertips are holding onto
The (16)____________ in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're (17)__________ 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 (18)________ to (19)________ at (20)________ face, 'cause it's making me sick
You've (21)________ and got sick on my trainers
I (22)________ got (23)__________ yesterday
Oh my gosh, I cannot be (24)________________ with this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I purposely won't (25)________ the heating on
And (26)________ God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And (27)__________ time we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And every time we fight I (28)________ it's not right
Every time (29)________ you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And every (30)________ we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
