Foundations by Kate Nash

Thursday night, everything's fine
Except you've got that look in (1)________ eye
When I'm telling a story, and you find it boring
You're thinking of (2)__________________ to say
You'll go along with it, (3)________ drop 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 (5)________ will be embarrassed
And I won't give a shit

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I (6)____________ let go, but I can't
And (7)__________ time we (8)__________ I (9)________ it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
You (10)________ I (11)________ eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be (12)________ (13)________ friends, mate,
'Cause (14)________ 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 (15)______________ onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know (16)________ I (17)____________ let go, but I can't
And every 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
Your face is pastey
'Cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise
Don't want to look at your face, 'cause it's making me sick
You've gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I (18)____________ be bothered with this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I (19)__________________ won't turn the heating on
And (20)________ God, I (21)________ I'm not stuck with (22)________ one

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