Hit The Floor - Lyrics by Linkin Park


Lyrics
There are just too many times when people try to put their trust in me
Wondering when I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I held on but when I didn't you push away
Afraid to say what is wrong and right, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I'm not around
You think you have the upper hand and you got to put me down
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine
One minute you're up top(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start(just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start(you think you won)
And then it's all gone
So many people like me that put so much trust in all the lies
So concerned with better things and just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All of those and all they want is to feel like I've been stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
Watch this I will show you all I am counting down the time
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine
One minute you're up top(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start(just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start(you think you won)
And then it's all gone
I know I can't trust or see the way you say
And now I realise you're byast but you're right anyway
And now your eyes have got you thinking up for what you saw
I know now something's got to fall
One minute you're up top(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start(just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start(you think you won)
And then it's all gone
