We never even liked him from the start.

“Thursday night, every thing’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 humiliate 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 won’t give a shit.

My finger tips 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 finger tips are holding on to 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 finger tips 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.”

“Foundations” by Kate Nash

This is the song currently playing in my brain most hours of the day. Even though it reminds me of a bad period in my life, I still really enjoy the song. It never evokes any strong memories. It just serves as a reminder.

I really need to buckle down and start the dozens of errands that need to be completed before I move. I just really prefer not to think about any of it.
