Lyrics

[00:11.03] Thursday night, everything's fine,
[00:13.33] except you've got that look in your eye
[00:16.34] when I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring,
[00:19.21] you're thinking of something to say.
[00:21.12] You'll go along with it then drop it
[00:24.81] and humiliate me in front of our friends.
[00:30.54]
[00:33.41] Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin'
[00:35.95] and say something like
[00:37.35] "yeah, intelligent input, darlin',
[00:39.07] why don't you just have another beer then?"
[00:42.75]
[00:45.01] Then you'll call me a bitch
[00:46.26] and everyone we're with will be embarrassed,
[00:48.77] and I wont give a shit.
[00:52.58]
[00:56.30] My fingertips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
[01:01.81] and I know that I should let go,
[01:04.45] but I can't.
[01:07.71] And every time we fight I know it's not right,
[01:11.08] every time that you're upset and I smile.
[01:13.78] I know I should forget, but I can't.
[01:19.26] You said I must eat so many lemons
[01:22.29] 'cause I am so bitter.
[01:24.78] I said
[01:25.43] "I'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."
[01:30.55] Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,
[01:33.34] and I must admit that I was a bit scared,
[01:36.69] but it gives me thrills to wind you up.
[01:40.34]
[01:41.71] My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation,
[01:47.22] and I know that I should let go,
[01:50.03] but I can't.
[01:53.10] And every time we fight I know it's not right,
[01:56.51] every time that you're upset and I smile.
[01:59.42] I know I should forget, but I can't.
[02:05.28] Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted, what a surprise.
[02:10.69] Don't want to look at your face 'cause it's makin' me sick.
[02:16.03] You've gone and got sick on my trainers,
[02:19.80] I only got these yesterday.
[02:22.07] Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.
[02:26.05]
[02:27.21] Well, I'll leave you there 'till the mornin',
[02:29.86] and I purposely won't turn the heating on
[02:32.49] and dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one.
[02:37.21]
[02:38.17] My fingertips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
[02:42.75] and I know that I should let go,
[02:46.87] but I can't.
[02:49.90] And every time we fight I know it's not right,
[02:53.35] every time that you're upset and I smile.
[02:56.13] I know I should forget, but I can't.
[03:01.33] And every time we fight I know it's not right,
[03:04.64] every time that you're upset and I smile.
[03:07.36] I know I should forget, but I can't.
[03:12.69] And every time we fight I know it's not right,
[03:16.08] every time that you're upset and I smile.
[03:18.81] I know I should forget, but I can't.
