Deep beneath your skin
You know this feels so right to you
But trust me girl with him you don?t know
What your getting yourself into
Crawl into the sheets
With an unfamiliar face
It?s getting back at me
You want it?s kill my so called grace

But now
The table?s top turned
Once you left in mind and you?re still choking on your word
Noooooooowonder why your still alone
A body bruised and beaten blue and black
Noooooooowonder while you sleep with the window open
You do this to yourself

And now
Enjoy yourself a lover
All I know is I know could hate and
How do it feels to love to hate you
Nooooooooowonder why your stil alone
A body bruised and beaten blue and black
Noooooooowonder while you sleep with the window open
You do this to yourself

Your lies....buried beneath the truth
Your lies... it?s hard to see it through

Regret me don?t foregt me
I want you to remember
Regret me don?t forget me
Let?s get set to have to stay away

No wonder why your stil alone
A body bruised and beaten blue and black
No wonder while you sleep with the window open
You do this to yourself

Regret me don?t foregt me
I want you to remember
Regret me don?t forget me
Let?s get set to have to stay away

    General Comment:well , other than the fact that this was missing a huge amount of the song, its amazing.



    Deep beneath your skin
    You know this feels so right to you
    But trust me girl with him you don’t know
    What your getting yourself into
    Crawl under the sheets
    With an unfamiliar face
    It's getting back at me you want,
    It's to kill my so called grace

    But now the tables have turned
    There's one seat left at mine and you're still choking on your word
    No wonder why you're still alone
    A body bruised and beaten blue and black
    No wonder why you sleep with the window open
    You do this to yourself

    Limping to your car, you never thought it would end like this
    But your hero in his armor, wasn't playing with those fists
    So innocent and still, you lay against your truck's window
    Replaying what looks to me as karma, taking its last blow

    And how, can you call yourself a lover?
    All I know is that I love to hate, and how good it feels, to love to hate you
    No wonder why you're still alone
    A body bruised and beaten blue and black
    No wonder why you sleep with the window open
    You do this to yourself

    Your lies, buried beneath the truth
    Your lies, it's so hard to see through
    Your lies, buried beneath the truth
    Your lies, it's so hard to see through

    Regret me, don't forget me
    I want you to remember
    Regret me, don't forget me
    The last chance you'll have to stay awake

    No wonder why you're still alone
    A body bruised and beaten blue and black
    No wonder why you sleep with the window open
    You do this to yourself

    Regret me, don't forget me
    I want you to remember
    Regret me, don't forget me
    The last chance you'll have to stay awake

    General Comment:yeah, unlimited hit the nail on the head about this song. this is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Halifax song ever. I can't believe how big these guys have gotten since I started listening to them in late 2004. They've really blown up. I'm so proud of them.

    General Comment:it's "but now the tables have turned" not "but now the tables top turned"

    the part that you missed is
    "Limping to your car,
    you never thought it would end like this.
    But you're a hero in his armor wasn't playing with those fists.
    So innocent and still,
    you lay against your trucks window.
    Playing what looks to me as karma taking it's last blow."

    where it says
    "And now
    Enjoy yourself a lover
    All I know is I know could hate and
    How do it feels to love to hate you"

    it's
    "And now you call yourself a lover.
    All I know is I love to hate
    and how good it feels
    to love to hate you."

    and yeah "unlimited" is right about the meaning of this song

    General Comment:It's a story of how a girl chose another guy over Mike. And Mike knew all along what would happen. The other guy abuses her and now she finally sees that what Mike said came true. But by this time, Mike has already gotten over and now has a distaste for her. "Regret me, don't forget me. I want you to remember." He's basically telling her he was right since the beginning and now it's too late for her to be with him. Pouring salt into the wounds. Excellent song.
