The Kitchen Floor
Little Green Cars Lyrics

And in a moment, I had forgotten
Suddenly, I was able to push aside and erase from my memory all the words that you spoke to me

All the things that you had said to me
The words that came out of your mouth, which once had so much power over me

I think just like a child
My mind becomes small and simple, like that of a young and vulnerable person

You try to burn my mind
You aim to inflict pain and torment upon my thoughts and my innermost being

All it is is dangerous to me
Your actions and words only bring danger and harm to my life and my wellbeing

And through the kitchen door
Looking through the doorway of the kitchen

I see you're on the floor
I see that you have fallen down on the ground

Said you never wanted me to see
You previously stated that you did not want me to witness this sight

I guess what's done is done
There is no changing the past now, what happened has already happened

It looks like you had fun
It appears that you found enjoyment or pleasure in what just happened

I'll just go inside and watch tv
I will retreat back into my living space and numb my mind by watching television

I've been enough
I have reached my limit with you

And it gets rough
The situation becomes unpleasant and difficult to handle

When all the people stare
When others go out of their way to observe and judge our situation

Talk on the streets and in my faces
The words and rumors being spread about us in public and to my face

That we are not living
Others might think that we are not truly alive or experiencing life the way we should be

I'm just a cast you had removed when all the pain was over
I was like a protective covering that you got rid of once you no longer needed it, even though I still hurt

I'll sit at home you'll never know
I will spend my time alone, away from you, and you will never be aware of this

The things you make me think of
The thoughts and emotions that you stir up inside me

And when I think about
When I dwell on and consider

The times you carried out
The moments when you followed through with your actions and intentions

Everything you said you never would
All of the things that you had previously sworn you would never do or say

Pick up the telephone
Take hold of the communication device we use to talk to others

I ring my friends at home
I call my close companions who are at their own houses

They say I should stop
My friends advise that I end this toxic relationship

I think I should
I believe that it is indeed time for me to walk away

I try forgetting everything you've ever said to me
I make an effort to erase every single one of your words from my mind and memory

I think about the mountain and how I've never been there
I daydream about a distant and unfamiliar place that I have always wanted to visit, but never have because of you

Probably because I was with you
Likely due to the fact that being with you and dealing with our issues took up all of my time and energy

You say enough
When you tell me that you've had enough

You think you're tough
You believe that you are strong and capable of handling anything that comes your way

To say to me it's over
To make it clear that our relationship is finished and will not continue any longer

I'm out the door
I leave and depart from this situation

But I'm not sure if I've forgotten something
A part of me still thinks that I might have missed or overlooked something important

You lie awake you try to make amends
You remain restless and cannot sleep, while attempting to make things right with me

Cause your not sleeping
Your inability to rest keeps you up all night
