On the Floor

yeah, so it lays on the floor, broken

you kick it aside, words unspoken

so, we were the drop-kicked parts

not parts of two hearts

you're leaving for dead

fucked-up things in your head

since you're not alone, and not lied to

omission is worse somehow — he tried to

but the pain of showing

what lay beneath, unknowing

how in fucking hell could something be so bad

to tear apart something we had

I did not know back then what I just learned now

that you were the one, who found me somehow

trying to cope, deal with the issues

not crying on pillows or dampening tissues

facing it as it came,

over-analyzing, realizing

tearing apart my insides and

every day, wondering how, what now

why this shit in my head

from something someone said, or did

in the past — could fuck me over

make me wanna lay in clover

because for all of these years

and all the trials and fears

I went through the past

then telling it, it destroyed my ass

for living it, but not giving it

the moment I knew

what I wanted, needed was you

to heal me, help me, love me, feed me

all the things you said

your words danced in my head

all those nights talking

through those places walking

I did not lie to you

I will not lie to you

I would die for you

because you mean that much to me

if you would just listen to me

I know you're numb, me too

what you said, you said

and feel I that did to you

I am not saying the past is past

it obviously affects us to the last

but I am begging you please consider this

before that last day, that last kiss

and all words permit me to say

is I am sorry, and I love you.

The Song:

On the Floor

On the Floor - OG

Verse 1

yeah, so it lays on the floor, broken

you kick it aside, words unspoken

so, we were the drop-kicked parts

not parts of two hearts

you're leaving for dead

fucked-up things in your head

since you're not alone, and not lied to

omission is worse somehow — he tried to

but the pain of showing

what lay beneath, unknowing

how in fucking hell could something be so bad

to tear apart something we had

Chorus (anthemic)

Don’t turn away, don’t kill this fire,

we’re built from the ashes, pulled from the wire.

Through every wound, every scar we’ve shown,

I won’t let you go — you are my home.

Verse 2

I did not know back then what I just learned now

that you were the one, who found me somehow

trying to cope, deal with the issues

not crying on pillows or dampening tissues

facing it as it came,

over-analyzing, realizing

tearing apart my insides and

every day, wondering how, what now

why this shit in my head

from something someone said, or did

in the past — could fuck me over

make me wanna lay in clover

because for all of these years

and all the trials and fears

I went through the past

then telling it, it destroyed my ass

Chorus (anthemic)

Don’t turn away, don’t kill this fire,

we’re built from the ashes, pulled from the wire.

Through every wound, every scar we’ve shown,

I won’t let you go — you are my home.

Verse 3

for living it, but not giving it

the moment I knew

what I wanted, needed was you

to heal me, help me, love me, feed me

all the things you said

your words danced in my head

all those nights talking

through those places walking

I did not lie to you

I will not lie to you

I would die for you

because you mean that much to me

Bridge

if you would just listen to me

I know you're numb, me too

what you said, you said

and feel I that did to you

I am not saying the past is past

it obviously affects us to the last

but I am begging you please consider this

before that last day, that last kiss

Chorus (anthemic – final, lifted)

Don’t turn away, don’t kill this fire,

we’re built from the ashes, pulled from the wire.

Through every wound, every scar we’ve shown,

I won’t let you go — you are my home.
