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 (1)__________ (2)________ it, then (3)________ it
And humiliate me in front of our friends

Then I'll use that (4)__________ that you find annoying
And say something like,
"Yeah, intelligent input, darling.
Why don't you just have another beer then?"

Then you'll call me a bitch
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't give a shit

My (5)____________________ are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know (6)________ I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every (7)________ that you're upset and I smile
I know I (8)____________ forget, but I can't
You said I (9)________ eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be with your friends, mate,
'Cause they are much fitter."
Yes, it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I must admit (10)________ I was a bit scared
But it gives me (11)______________ to (12)________ you up

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I (13)________ (14)________ I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I (15)________ it's not right
Every (16)________ 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 (17)________ to look at your face, 'cause it's making me sick
You've gone and got (18)________ on my trainers
I (19)________ got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I (20)____________ be bothered with this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I (21)__________________ won't turn the heating on
And dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one

My fingertips are (22)______________ onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And (23)__________ time we fight I (24)________ it's not right
Every time that you're (25)__________ and I smile
I know I (26)____________ forget, but I can't
And every (27)________ 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 (28)________ 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
