Ok, so I haven't been having the best week. My friends have been helping me through though and then today I was listening to my music and a song played that I haven't listened to in ages (that's what happens when you have around 1500 songs on your iPod). It was exactly what I needed. It fit the situation I'm in perfectly. So here are the lyrics...

"Hit the Floor" - Linkin Park

There were just too many

Times 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 say about me when I’m not around

You think having the upper hand

Means you gotta keep putting me down

But I've had too many stand-offs with you

It's about as much as I can stand

So I’ll wait until the upper hand is mine

One minute you’re on top

The next your not, watch it drop

Making your heart stop

Just before you hit the floor

One minute you’re on top

The next your not, missed your shot

Making your heart stop

You think you've won

And then it's all gone

So many people like me that put so much trust in all your lies

So concerned of 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've cross the line

What goes up will surely fall, and I'm counting 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 waiting until the upper hand is mine

One minute you’re on top

The next your not, watch it drop

Making your heart stop

Just before you hit the floor

One minute you’re on top

The next your not, missed your shot

Making your heart stop

You think you've won

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

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 is got to fall

One minute you’re on top

The next your not, watch it drop

Making your heart stop

Just before you hit the floor

One minute you’re on top

The next your not, missed your shot

Making your heart stop

You think you've won

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
