Hit the Floor (Live in Nottingham 2003)

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say Too many things that you've said about me when I'm not around You think havin' the upper hand means you gotta keep puttin' me down But I've had too many stand-offs with you, it's about as much as I can stand So I'm waitin' until the upper hand is mine [Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] One minute, you're on top! The next you're not, watch it drop Makin' your heart stop! Just before you hit the floor One minute, you're on top! Thе next you're not, missed your shot Makin' your hеart stop! You think you won, and then it's all gone [Verse 2: Mike Shinoda] So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on There are so many things you say that make me feel you crossed the line What goes up will surely fall, and I'm countin' down the time 'Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you, it's about as much as I can stand So I'm waitin' until the upper hand is mine [Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] One minute, you're on top! The next you're not, watch it drop Makin' your heart stop! Just before you hit the floor One minute, you're on top! The next you're not, missed your shot Makin' your heart stop! You think you won [Post-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] And then it's all gone And then it's all gone And then it's all gone! And then it's all gone! Now it's all gone [Bridge: Mike Shinoda] I know I'll never trust a single thing you say You knew your lies would divide us, but you lied anyway And all the lies have got you floating up above us all But what goes up has got to fall [Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] One minute, you're on top! The next you're not, watch it drop Makin' your heart stop! Just before you hit the floor One minute, you're on top! The next you're not, missed your shot Makin' your heart stop! You think you won [Post-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] And then it's all gone And then it's all gone And then it's all gone! And then it's all gone! Now it's all gone
