Foundations - Newton Faulkner

Thursday night and everything’s fine

Except you’ve got that look in your eye

When you’re telling a story and you find it boring

You’re thinking of something to say

You’ll go along with it then drop it

And humiliate me, in front of our friends

Then I’ll use that voice that you find annoying

And say something like: «Yes intelligent input darling

Why don’t you have another glass of wine?»

Then you’ll call me a …

And everyone we’re with will be embarrassed

And I won’t give a …

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 you get upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can’t

Oh 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 all much fitter»

Yes it was childish and you got aggressive

And I must admit, I was a bit scared

It gives me thrills to wind you up

Oh 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 I get 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, I can’t 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 can’t be bothered with this

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 I get upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can’t

Oh my fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean

And I try to play with Lego.

but I can’t

And every time we fight I know it’s not right

Every time you get upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can’t
