Foundations by Kate Nash

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

Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say (4)__________________ like,
"Yeah, intelligent input, darling.
Why don't you just have (5)______________ 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 (6)____________________ are (7)______________ onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know (8)________ I (9)____________ let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're (10)__________ and I smile
I know I should 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 your friends, mate,
'Cause they 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 (11)______________ to wind you up

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And (12)__________ (13)________ we (14)__________ I know it's not right
Every (15)________ that you're upset and I smile
I know I (16)____________ 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 (17)____________ me sick
You've gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered (18)________ this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I (19)__________________ won't turn the (20)______________ on
And dear God, I (21)________ I'm not stuck with this one

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know (22)________ I (23)____________ let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're (24)__________ and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And (25)__________ time we fight I know it's not right
Every (26)________ that you're upset and I smile
I know I (27)____________ forget, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're (28)__________ and I smile
I know I (29)____________ forget, but I can't
