“Bathroom Floor” by April

You take every piece of me until there is nothing left
I cry and silently wept
My mom, she is dead

You promised til death do us part
Where is your heart?
How come you took it this far?
First time happened in the dark

This broke me 
Can you please give a little honesty?
I want the love you promised me
Please, just let it be 
Let’s just watch this movie 

Shut up! I am in school
I promise, I don’t tell them about you
It’s a secret, just between us two
No one can know because I am the fool

I love you through it
Take the blows and the hits
My babies, animals know that I keep them safe from all your fits

This bathroom floor is so cold
Do I really want this until I am old?
