Floorboards Lyrics

I feel nothing
When I'm with you
Except my pride eroding away
On the front porch of your mother's
She said "Stay away from my daughter"
I never meant to hurt you
With my indifference and apathy
But my heart just can't take it
I just can't stand to be happy

There are pictures of us at my mom's house
Bleached white from the sun
She says “Oh I sure love this one
You look like you're having so much fun!”
I screamed at her to take them down She looked on the verge of crying
She says “Oh I'm sorry baby
But they're the only ones I have of you smiling!”

I want to blend in with the wallpaper
Seep in through the floorboards
I don't want to see you with another
I don't want to seem too broken up

And when I see you at the mall
With your stroller and your perfect family
Like always I'll just play it cool
Like always I'll pretend to feel nothing
