Pride Before A Fall - Maxïmo Park

If I gave you a name

Would you live up to it?

If I gave you a game

Would you play up for me

If I played with your heart

Would you respect me?

If I came on too shy

Would you reject me?

What did I do to you?

Why does it hurt when I hear your name?

What did I do to you?

Why does it hurt when I hear your name?

Pride before a fall

None of us are perfect figures

Pride before a fall

You made me reconsider

If I apportioned the blame

Could you hold up to it?

And if I ran out of strength

Could you forgive me?

I looked at you for too long the other day

It was then that I knew

That you weren’t the one

You weren’t the one

What did I do to you?

Why does it hurt when I hear your name?

What did I do to you?

Why does it hurt when I hear your name?

Pride before a fall

None of us have got a perfect figure

Pride before a fall

You forced me to reconsider

I looked at you today

I looked at you another way

Pride before a fall

None of us are perfect figures

Pride before a fall

You forced me to reconsider
