The song describes a relationship where the singer feels betrayed by their partner's lies. It has a long intro and uses a call-and-response structure between verses and a pre-chorus. The verses describe feeling let down by the partner, while the pre-chorus and chorus express regret over the relationship and a refusal to believe future lies. It builds to a musical breakdown and concludes by repeating the chorus, with added anger and expression to fully end the song.

3. Verse one
Where were you,
When I needed you around.
You put me to the top,
To watch me fall back down.
Throughout the hall,
Scented with your breath.
Put yourself on show,
You're dressed to impress.
The first takes a while to
actually kick in as the song
has a really long intro of
drums and a basic guitar rift
for 40 seconds. This is typical
as it eases the audience into
the song giving them a catch
beat to tap along to.
They have used a repeated
pattern with the odd number
lines being short and quirky
as the even ones are longer
adding to the build up of the
beats.
But towards the end of this
verse it takes you to the pre
chorus and we are aware of
this because of its dragged
out note of the last word
“impress”.

4. Pre- chorus
And you, you start to shake.
Because you're moving in closer with this lips.
I guess this had a song to break tonight.
Here we are introduced to a pre-chorus which would repeat a number of
times just before the chorus, breakdown of the song to ease the audience
in, this is where the beat slightly changes, as we can see the stanza length
has gotten much longer but the number of lines are shorter, this is all to do
with the beat when the guitars change to a new one to meet the new
upbeat rift of the chorus.

5. Chorus
This is the first time, I regret having you,
By my side, and tonight,
This is the last time, I'll be sucked in by your lies,
And your , your dirty alibis.
Again we see the more varied length in the chorus as it matches what the
pre-chorus looked like however we get an extra line.
Stereotypical to pop punk music you would find a 4/4 beat which is
presented here. The vocals appear to be more higher and loud, along with
the crashes of the drums and upbeat of the guitar, performing in rhythm
rather than the catch riff which is soon returned right after, ready for the
verse again.

6. Verse two
How dare you, think of me like that.
I don't know how,
How you want me to react.
So sing me, a lullaby.
And tell me, this will be alright.
The second verse is usually shorter than the first one as we are already
acquired into the beat and know the basic pattern. Here the bass and
guitar follows a basic rift which is repeated throughout but only changes
when the tempo of the song reaches the pre-chorus right until the actual
chorus. This is the last verse in this song as the break down set in, after
the second chorus.

7. Going into the breakdown
And you, you start to shake.
Because you're moving closer with this lips.
I guess this had a song to break tonight.
This is the first time, I regret having you,
By my side, and tonight,
This is the last time, I'll be sucked in by your lies,
And your , your dirty alibis.
(BREAKDOWN) [ drums mainly, with the sharp guitar and bass]
Before we actually reach the breakdown, the pre chorus and the chorus
needs to set in however when the chorus is finished it stops and doesn’t go
back to the two guitars doing their rifts but goes straight into a breakdown
where the drums and chrehindo are heavily involved along side the sharp
E strings of the bass, but also the higher guitar chords. No sound is heard
here as it is purely instrumental, before a gradual start up back to
normality. This is done with a softer voice of the chorus, missing the pre
one this time.

8. Last chorus - ending
And tonight, this is the first time ,
I regret having you,
By my side, and tonight,
This is the last time, I'll be sucked in by your lies,
And your , your dirty alibis.
This is the first time,
That I regret having you by my side.
And tonight, this is the last time ,
I'll be sucked in by your lies,
And your , your dirty alibis.
You will find this part to be the longest as it gradually ends, the last part to
a song normally repeated the chorus over and over again combining bits
and using the pre chorus as well.
the beat is relatively the same as before however there will be a change in
the voice, with pitch wise using more anger and expression in to end off
the song well, letting the audience know it is coming to a halt.
