Girl On The Floor

(album: Hearts For Bullets - 2008)

Mirror, mirror on the wall
I'm just someone with no self-control
You don't know the real me
But you get a glimpse
So you paint a picture
So vivid, but just so wrong
This little girl is broken this time
Broken
I've seen things no one should ever have to see
I paint a smile to tell the world I'm doing fine
While everything I've known flies out the window

I just want to leave this situation
I don't want to reach this destination
Can't you see I've lost the motivation
I want to leave this situation

Mirror, mirror on the wall
You see a girl with no self-control
You ask what I want
It's complicated
The truth is I don't know
I guess it's not enough to be there sometimes
Sometimes
But I've been dealt a hand no one should ever have to play
I guess I've really messed up this time
Messed up this time
But I'm too tired to fake the strength behind this lie

I just want to leave this situation
I don't want to reach this destination
Can't you see I've lost the motivation
I want to leave this situation

And now I sit here
All alone and bored
My head is filled with advice I once ignored
That all you get from this moment
Is all you gave to your past
And all you get from this moment
Is what you gave to your past

I'm turning to the next thing
And I laugh just for this moment
I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Because nothing is the same

I'm turning to the next one
Then we're laughing for the moment
I'm crying on the bathroom floor
I cannot regain strength

I just want to leave this situation
I don't want to reach this destination
Can't you see I've lost the motivation
I want to leave this situation

I just want to leave this situation
I don't want to reach this destination
Can't you see I've lost the motivation
I want to leave this situation

And now I sit here
All alone and bored
My head is filled with advice I once ignored
That all you get from this moment
Is all you gave to your past
And all you get from this moment
Is what you gave to your past
