The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes Lyrics

I'm holding out and I'm holding on to every letter and every grudge
I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet
Are you through with me?

When it all goes to hell, will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face?

I'm all ears and I'm all scars to hear you tell me
"Boy's like you try too hard to look not quite as desperate"
I'm hanging on
But I still know the way to make your makeup run

Take this to your grave and I'll take it to mine

Love this song!!!! I can relate to it a lot.. my ex-gf told me something along the lines of "boys like you try too hard to look not quite as desperate" and I guess it always just reminds me of what she told me. and ialso still know how to make her make-up run. and even if she was the bad one in our relationship, she never said sorry with a straight face. so with the lines "boys like you try too hard to look not quite as desperate, I'm hanging on, but I still know how to make your make-up run" & "And when it all goes to hell, will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face?" I can always relate to this song over heartbreak. but that's just me, I dont know the actual genuine meaning to this song :P

love it.

the "and when it all goes to hell will you be able to tell" part DEFINITELY sounds EXACTLY like the "and when you tell all your friends, you've got your gun to my head" from Cute without the E by taking back sunday.

When I heard that, i youtubed the TBS song and as soon as I heard it I knew exactly what you meant.

The TBS song was released a year before Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes, so FOB did take it from TBS, but FOB is still an original band and they did...

Basically this song is about a girl who did the guy wrong and she refuses to let go of the grudge between them and so does he. And when the end of the relationship comes he's askin if she'll really mean it when she says sorry or just fake it and move on.

anyone notice that the part that goes "When it all goes to hell, will you be able to tell" sounds a lot like cute without the e by taking back sunday when it goes "and will you tell all your friends youve got your gun to my head"??
