Back Story:
"This was a very therapeutic song for me to write, addressing the moment when you inevitably in your life experience some sort of heartbreak when you really trust someone and they really break that trust in a way that really affects you. They say you can't really know true love until you have been hurt and that's true, you might have been truly loved but you don't really appreciate until you have experienced both extremes. Perhaps one of the most gut wrenching forms of heartbreak is if they cheat on you and even though they want you back you know they aren't really sorry or particularly owning of their own wrongdoing. Even though you love them and you have already started the process of settling down in life together, you know there is no future (unless she really was sorry) and so the hardest part is telling her to go. At least when this happened to me, the only time she showed any sad emotion was after the two weeks notice I gave her to pack her things that she knew I was serious as she knew that she really wasn't going to see me again unless she really acknowledged it was cheating which she wasn't going to do anytime soon. They were the only tears of hers I saw."

Lyrics:
While I'm earning...
What you did...
What did you do
Wasn't it only me
Now you can't have me at all
Your begging ain't going to make me fall
You've done the most ugly thing
I planned to have kids with you
Buy a house and marry too
Though now it's your loss my win
But tonight I have a different take
For us now It's much too late,
It's like a funeral but with no wake
Bells ringing...
How dare you...
You simply can't go sleeping around
While I'm earning...
What you did...
Wasn't it only me
Malavy
Who did you see
You simply can't go sleeping around
(Were there other times) Malavy
I'm setting you free
To the new lover you have found
Now you can't have me at all
Your begging ain't going to make me fall
You've done the most ugly thing
I planned to have kids with you
Buy a house and marry too
Though now it's your loss my win
But tonight I have a different take
For us now It's much too late,
It's like a funeral but with no wake
Malavy
Who did you see
You simply can't go sleeping around
Malavy
I'm setting you free
To the new lover you have found
Malavy
Who did you see
You simply can't go sleeping around
Malavy
I'm setting you free
To the new lover you have found
Malavy
