Maximo Park Pride Before A Fall Lyrics

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
