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 a freak)
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 a freak)
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 a freak)
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 a freak)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)

I always take
What I can

    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 :(
