Hit The Floor
Linkin Park怀 Lyrics

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
I have experienced people trying to understand what I think about you multiple times

Wondering what I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy
I protect you by not revealing my thoughts about you because I am being courteous

Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away
I have held on to you even when I needed to distance myself from you

Afraid to say what was on my mind
I am scared to express what I truly feel about you

Afraid to say what I need to say
I am hesitant to communicate my honest opinion about you

Too many things that you've said about me when I'm not around
You talk behind my back, saying hurtful things when I am not present

You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
You believe that you need to belittle and undermine me to maintain dominance

But I've had too many standoffs with you it's about as much as I could stand
I have been in too many arguments with you, and I cannot tolerate it anymore

So I wait till the upper hand is mine
I am waiting for the opportunity to gain control of the situation

One minute you're on top
You seem to be winning, successful or in a position of power

The next you're not, watch it drop
Suddenly, your success or power collapses

Making your heart stop
This sudden change causes you to be in shock and feel overwhelmed

Just before you hit the floor
You are about to face the consequences of your actions, and it will not be good

Missed your shot
You failed to take advantage of an opportunity presented to you

You think you've won
You believe that you have succeeded or accomplished your goal

And then it's all gone
Suddenly, everything you have gained is lost

So many people like me that put so much trust in all your lies
Many people like me have trusted you even though you have lied many times

So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside
We are too worried about your opinion to express how we genuinely feel

So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
Many people like me are afraid to offend you, and we behave cautiously around you all day

All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on
I desire to be treated with respect and not be treated as a doormat

There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
You often say things that offend me or go beyond acceptable boundaries

What goes up will surely fall, and I am counting down the time
Everything that rises will eventually come down, and I am waiting for that moment to come

Cause I've had so many standoffs with you it's about as much as I could stand
I have been in too many confrontations with you, and I cannot bear it anymore

Now it's all gone.
Everything that was gained is now lost

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
I have lost my faith in everything you say because of the many lies you have told

You realize you divide us but you lied anyway
You know that your lies have resulted in division, but you continue to deceive

And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
Your lies have elevated you above everyone else

But what goes up has got to fall
However, everything that rises must come down
