The first song on Snow Patrol’s Final Straw details a bitter conversation between a couple that seems to be about the infidelity of one of them.

[Verse 1]
Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
No, you don't know what happened and you never will
If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall

So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'Cause both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both
You're a big boy now, so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said, oh, my God
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Please take it easy, it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes that you've listed so far
Baby, let me explain something, it's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines you've drawn again and again
But if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestlin' Hyde
For my pride
