I could take every fucking word she says
Throw it in her face
But would she even care
I still remember when she looked at me
That frown upon her face
Trying to be sincere
I gathered all those little things she said
Kept them close to me
Trying to make this real
This cloud will alway hover over me
I'm leaving you today
'Cause now I see
Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)
I could take every fucking game you play
Blow it all away
But would you even care
I could take all those lies you said to me
Never go away
Never disappear
This cloud will always hover over me
I'm leaving you today
'Cause now I see
Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)
Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)
Now I'm far away from you (You're always far away)
I'll never bring back yesterday (bring back yesterday)
You're such a fake it's true
I can't believe the words you say
I'm far away from you
I'll never bring back yesterday
Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)
I always take
What I can
Throw it in her face
But would she even care
I still remember when she looked at me

Trying to be sincere

There are some slightly wrong lyrics posted here ... After the lead singer says "That your fake" The backup singer it is quoted here as saying "Im not a freak" ... It should say "I'm not a fake". Its kind of important in the context of the song.
I agree with Monticello. She does sound like Placebo's singer haha!!
Fairly self explanatory ... He is breaking up with her because she is too fake, and a liar. She denies it of course.
"This cloud will always hover over me; I'm leaving you today, because now I see..." Implementing that the cloud of lies and deceit weaved by his girlfriend will always hover over him, so long as he is with her. Thats why he attempts to cure the situation, stating "I'm leaving you today."
This is my favourite song in the world at the moment! IT is excellent. Its catchy, but you can listen to it hundreds of times and never get sick of it. SUch a pity Cold broke up :(
@Here_2_Hear I've gave it an edit, so hopefully they will approve it.

this song to me, is exactly my relationship with my ex. she played her games and I tried so fucking hard to make it work but by the time it was over and she relized what she'd had was lost.
Such a powerful song... Last words I said to my ex bf were 'You're a liar and a fake', and hearing the same words in this song, it just hits me, it makes me want to hit him aswell, lol... To me, it's like a hate song dedicated to every hurting asshole out there.
Ah a relationshit, I love all songs with suffocate in the title :)
Im leaving u bc now i c.....that u always TAKE what you can. U dont give a fuck about me. That's y i left you.
This song pretty much means
"F**k off, bitch."
"I gathered all those little things she said Kept them close to me Trying to make this real"
^ That pretty much sums up the song also.
i totally agree with that statement Go ShawowmOses i know exactly how those four lines go from heart... i seen the look he gave me that frown trying so hard to seem sincere but i look beyond what seems real beyond what he was trying to hide and i think for some people that hurts the fucking most!!....

This person has tried with his lover but he realizes that she is utterly fake. He has thought that maybe there was a chance that she was something more but he realizes that no matter how much he shows that he suffers over her and how he doesn't fall for her mind games.
"I could take every fucking game you play Blow it all away but would you even care"
But he realizes that this is all she is. And so he leaves her. But the end lines where the female vocalist sings (I assume in the voice of his girlfriend) hints that there is something authentic she actually feels for him.
"... You're always far away. ... Bring back yesterday."
She has just gotten lost too much within the fakeness of life and it will take too much time to get her back.
great break up song
