All along
You wanted to see me fail
I’d never suspect you
In the middle of the circle
Hiding your cover

Does this city have enough
Air for both of us to breathe?
If it was up to you one of us would leave
I’m telling you there’s no way it would be me

So talk yourself till your blue in the face
Cause someone always wants to listen to hate
It’s just too bad you’re so easy to ignore

So oh no, oh no,
Here comes the girl with the ice cream cone
Who says she didn’t get
A scoop as big as mine
Does it hurt to force a smile to my face?
Does it burn to wish you were in another place?
I won’t look to you anymore

So what are you saying tonight? X3

    General Comment:This song is about a subversive friend, it does matter if its a guy or a girl.

    General Comment:I think it's about two people living together (be it married, dating, or just friends), and one admitting how they really feel and that they hate them now. And now she wants the other person to leave.

    General Comment:I love this band and this song, they're really amazing, both on record and live. I think the lyrics of this song can be serious and comical at the same time. If I'm in a certain mood, I can imagine it being a ghetto, high school bitch fight. Andrea is amazing

    General Comment:I personally believe that this person was close to the singer. She never suspected that this so-called friend of hers would betray her, possibly through backstabbing out of pure jealousy. Such a great song to listen to when you're going through a hard time with a close "friend". And I use that term loosely.
