On the Floor

Lyrics

I'm trying
 But still I close my eyes
 ♪
 The dreaming
 Bringing his face to mine
 Lock the door
 The constant buzzing
 All through the night
 ♪
 The fighting
 Rips me all up inside
 On the floor
 I pace, I run my mouth
 I pray and wait
 I cross out his name on the page
 (How long 'til) This washes away?
 (How long 'til) My body is safe?
 (How long 'til) I walk in the light?
 (How long 'til) This heart isn't mine?
 The rise and fall
 Of his chest on me
 ♪
 I'm trying
 But still it's all I see
 ♪
 The violent
 Current of energy
 ♪
 I hide it
 Away and underneath
 Lock the door
 I shake, I promise everyday
 To change
 I cross out his name on the page
 (How long 'til) This washes away?
 (How long 'til) My body is safe?
 (How long 'til) I walk in the light?
 (How long 'til) This heart isn't mine?
 Take this wildness away
 ♪
 It away
 It away
 ♪
 I'm trying
 But still I close my eyes
 ♪
 The dreaming
 Bringing his face to mine
 Out the door
 I pace, I run my mouth
 I pray to change
 I cross out his name on the page
 (How long 'til) This washes away?
 (How long 'til) My body is safe?
 (How long 'til) This heart isn't mine?
 I just want him in my arms
 ♪
 I just want him in my arms
