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 find it boring
You're thinking of (2)__________________ to say
You'll go along with it, then drop it
And (3)__________________ me in front of our friends

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

Then you'll call me a bitch
And (5)________________ we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't give a shit

My (6)____________________ are (7)______________ onto
The (8)____________ 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 (9)________ that you're upset and I smile
I (10)________ I should forget, but I can't
You (11)________ I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be with your friends, mate,
'Cause (12)________ are much fitter."
Yes, it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I must admit (13)________ I was a bit scared
But it gives me thrills to (14)________ you up

My (15)____________________ are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I (16)________ that I should let go, but I can't
And (17)__________ 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 (18)____________ me sick
You've gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered (19)________ 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 stuck with this one

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we (20)__________ 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 time we fight I (21)________ it's not right
Every time that you're (22)__________ and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And every time we (23)__________ I know it's not right
Every time that you're (24)__________ and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
