Hit The Floor

this next line will either make you or break you
cut the cord and make me bleed
unsure of what to say or do
the time has come to sacrifice me
once again it's gone too far
sterling silver cutting knives
words that always sting and scar
little boy still oh so blind

try and push me
I'll watch you fall
becoming what I'm meant to be
still unable to watch you crawl

Daddy's girl grown up so brave
not afraid to scream and shout
finally able to have her say
without a shred of doubt
harsh words and bitter tastes
scathe my virgin tongue
no longer able to look at my face
you swear that we are done

try and push me
I'll watch you fall
becoming what I'm meant to be
still unable to watch you crawl
I never wanted it to end this way
but all the days just looked the same

Daddy dearest can't call me his own
I'm too much like my mother
what I say, he can't condone
so I'm simply one of those others
hearts that always seem to break
concealed by tearful pride
for everything that I hold dear's sake
I'll decide to fight tonight

try and push me
I'll watch you fall
becoming what I'm meant to be
still unable to watch you crawl
I never wanted it to end this way
I'm still not sure it's over
but all the days just looked the same
and I'm through with running for cover.
