Foundations by Kate Nash

Thursday night, everything's fine
Except you've got that (1)________ in your eye
When I'm telling a story, and you (2)________ it boring
You're thinking of (3)__________________ to say
You'll go (4)__________ with it, then drop it
And humiliate me in front of our friends

Then I'll use that (5)__________ that you find annoying
And say (6)__________________ like,
"Yeah, (7)______________________ input, darling.
Why don't you just (8)________ another beer then?"

Then you'll call me a bitch
And everyone we're (9)________ will be embarrassed
And I won't give a shit

My (10)____________________ are holding onto
The cracks 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 (11)________ that you're (12)__________ and I smile
I know I (13)____________ forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so (14)________ lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd (15)____________ be with your friends, mate,
'Cause they are much fitter."
Yes, it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I (16)________ admit that I was a bit scared
But it gives me thrills to wind you up

My fingertips are (17)______________ onto
The cracks 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 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 (18)________ 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 (19)____________ be bothered with this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I purposely won't turn the heating on
And dear God, I hope I'm not (20)__________ with this one

My fingertips are (21)______________ onto
The cracks 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 upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And (22)__________ time we fight I know it's not right
Every (23)________ that you're (24)__________ and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And every (25)________ we fight I (26)________ it's not right
Every time (27)________ you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
