I'm sitting home on a cold day
Underneath the covers like a little baby
I think I want to hear some Cold Play
Especially that song where the man says

"Did I drive you away? I know what your saying"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, whoa, whoa
I know all about your ways

What you do when your gone
(What you do)
And I knew all along
And they say some people change
So I'll just turn and look the other way

I tried to be blind to your game
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
Should of left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool when you would play around
I tried to be blind to your game
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
Should left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

All I can see is your old face
Giving my love away at some woman's place
Maybe I should I get up and go wash my face
Crying never kept you at home anyway

"Did I drive you away? I know what your saying"
(I know I didn't but you said it)
Ooh, whoa, whoa
I know all about your ways

What you do when your gone
(What you doing when your gone)
And I knew all along
(I know)
And they say some people change
(They say people change)
So I'll just turn and look the other way
(So I'll just turn and look the other way)

I tried to be blind to your game
(I tried to be blind yeah)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Deep down I knew)
Shoulda left your side in the first place
(Inside ooh whoa)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would play around
(I tried)
I tried to be blind to your game
(To be blind)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(But I knew it)
Should left your side in the first place
(Ooh hoo oh)
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

I noticed it, the calls you get
Leavin' the room and shit
And I knew you had a bitch
And I hated it, that's what I get
(I hated it)

I noticed it, the calls you get
Leavin' the room and shit
(And I know)
And I knew you had a bitch
And I hated it, that's what I get

(What you doin' to me baby?)
I tried to be blind to your game
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Deep down)
Should of left your side in the first place
(Oh I should of left your side)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would play around

I tried to be blind to your game
(Yes I tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Oh but I knew)
Should left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

I tried to be blind to your game
(I tried to be)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(I tried to be)
Should of left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool when you would play around
I tried to be blind to your game
(I tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
Should left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

Thought I'd be cool [Repeat: x3]

    cant belive no1 has commented yet...

    she knows her man is cheating....she know what he is up to behind her back.

    great bass line

    "But they say people change So I turned and looked the other way" - she is turning a blind eye to whats goign on...if she pretends not to knwo whats going on...then maybe it isnt really happening

    "Crying never kept you at home anyway" - he knows she knows, but he doesnt care, he continues to enjoy himself with his other woman, regardless of what his first lady is feeling

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Show Me a Little Shame
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
He certainly did earn that reputation.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
