about

"For anyone that's known me personally since 2008 will know what this song was written about. I've been going back and forth about whether or not to actually say what it's about specifically but fuck it, here it goes.
I ended up in a 2 and a half year relationship at the age of 15 to a girl that I thought was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. But over the course of the relationship things started going wrong and it ended just before my 18th birthday. It was a very nice break up until I found out things that had been going on behind my back, including something with someone that I considered to be a friend of mine. I wrote a couple of songs that were very direct to the people involved and were full of personal attacks but after writing this one, I realised I could put all my feelings into a fictional story about walking in and catching your partner 'At it' but still maintain the true emotion of how I felt. It is a very angry song and is the song I enjoy playing live the most."

lyrics

Verse: It seems you've given into temptation like a thousand times before. Another guy, another hotel room, another bedroom floor. Sweet nothings being whispered in your ears. Say nothing, keep listening and dry your tears.

Chorus: I don't see the point in screaming out your alibis. I can't stand the way you're breathing. I'm so used to hearing you lie. I don't like it when you smile but I hate seeing you cry. So could we hold it off this time?

Verse: It seems you've given it all up like you did when you were young. Just an adolescent, yeah a teenager out looking for some fun. Save the protection for another day, maybe another guy. It won't hurt. It won't matter just for this one night.

Chorus: I don't see the point in screaming out your alibis. I can't stand the way you're breathing. I'm so used to hearing you lie. I don't like it when you smile but I hate seeing you cry. So could we hold it off this time?

Middle 8: You've been dreading this for so long. Well guess what, this is 'That' song. You begged me not to do this. Will we ever make it through this?

Verse: It seems the morning's drawing nearer and you're in your sunday best. Both tucked up under the covers lying there half dressed. You don't seem bothered that in a few hours i'll be coming home. Keep your secret under the covers and I will never know!

Chorus: I don't see the point in screaming out your alibis. I can't stand the way you're breathing. I'm so used to hearing you lie. I don't like it when you smile but I hate seeing you cry. So could we hold it off this time?
