Thursday  night, everything's  fine,
except  you've got that look  in your eye
 when I'm tellin'  a story and you  find it boring,
 you're thinking  of something to say.
 You'll go along  with it then drop  it
 and humilliate  me
 in front of our  friends.
 Then I'll  use that voice that you  find annoyin'
 and say something  like
 "yeah, intelligent input,  darlin',
 why don't you just have  another beer then?"
 Then you'll call  me a bitch
 and everyone  we're with will be  embarrassed,
 and I  wont give a  shit.
 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 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.
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 thrills  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 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 pasty
 'cause you've  gone and got so wasted,
 what a surprise.
 Don't want to look  at your face
  'cause it's makin' me  sick.
You've  gone and got  sick on my trainers,
 I only got  these yesterday.
 Oh, my gosh, I  cannot be bothered with  this.
Well,  I'll leave you there 'till the mornin',
 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 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 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 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.
 End on
