[Intro: Kyle Falconer]
I want you to know that I've no place to go
I want you to see what you've done to me
Because of him, you've thrown me away
You could have gone with him and chose another day
[Chorus 1: Kyle Falconer]
Just because of your gullible range
You've made me feel like I'm deranged
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
That seems strange cause you gave me the life
[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
I'm feeling almost dead
You're messing up my head
I'm in the wrong direction
Still no support
Because of him, you've thrown me away
You could of gone with him and chose another day
[Pre-Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
The road that you have taken now
Is all because of me somehow
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
[Chorus 1: Kyle Falconer]
Just because your gullible range
You've made me feel like I'm deranged
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
That seems strange cause you gave me the life
[Chorus 2: Kyle Falconer]
And I'll love my son, like you loved one
It's now my turn to follow a better day
Think of a better way
So I'll love my son, like you loved one
It's now my turn to follow a better day
Think of a better way
I'll love my son, like you loved one
I will become another part of you
I'll carry the weight of you
[Outro: Kyle Falconer]
I want you to know I have no place to go
Want you to see what you've done to me

Lead singer Kyle Falconer opened up about the song meaning to Q Magazine:
Cos I’ve got a problem sitting still and if I sat down I’d break it. I used taw' write songs wi' a pen on my bedroom door in the middle of the night. Then I’d wake up next morning and cannae read them.
Following the death of lead singer Kyle Falconer’s mum, it inspired him to finish the song. He expanded on this:
I wrote the first part of this song back in 2004. It took until last year until I had the inspiration (the death of my Mum) to be able to finish it off. We wrote about 50 tunes for this...
