Floorboards - McCafferty

And this is not the way that I had pictured this would go

Your hands are weak, I thought that they were strong

Your mouth tastes like the way I thought it’d taste

Like smoke

And your hair is really long, I like it really long

So I can lie to both my mom and dad

And say that I am younger than I am

And the doctors say I’m fine

But I will be a mom in nine more months

I’ll never be a mom

I’ll never be that strong

I’ll always be this weak

At least, I think I’ll be

She says

«I kicked, and cried, and screamed, until I couldn’t breathe

I threw myself down stairs like twice a week

I think I bled until it was all gone»

He said

«Thank me when you’re older

And I will write all of these songs for you

You can bury me in pieces

Underneath the floorboards in your room

And the story just gets darker

Screaming down hallways you always do

Saying, «Jesus, please forgive me

But I need this body more than you.»

Singing

Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(It's not all gone)

And I never said that did was easier than done

At dawn, my ribs are spilling out my back

My spine, my spine, is coming out my mouth

And I cannot breathe

And I will break, and break, and break, and break, and break again

I’ll glue myself back up with all my friends

I’ll lock myself inside of my room, writing songs like these

She says

«I kicked, and cried, and screamed, until I couldn’t breathe

I threw myself down stairs like twice a week

I think I bled until it was all gone»

He says

«Thank me when you’re older

And I will write all of these songs for you

You can bury me in pieces

Underneath the floorboards in your room

And the story just gets darker

Screaming down hallways you always do

Saying «Jesus, please forgive me

But I need this body more than you.»

Singing

Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(My God)

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And it’s not all gone
