One more time you will laugh about it
And he'll never try to give you more
And I don't care, he is such a dick
Treats you like you are a stupid whore

And it seems like things will never change
You go on, every cloud is in your way
And I know you feel empty all the time
You'll never listen to anything that I say

She's better off sleeping on the floor
'cause she fell right off when all
Is said, you know
It's okay to just want more

Why leave when you claim it is love?
But why stay when you're not the only one?
She's proved she's strong
Be brave, be strong

She's better off sleeping on the floor
'cause she fell right off when all
Is said, you know
It's okay to just want more

She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)
She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)
She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)
She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)

    General Comment:this song is about a girl, who is treated better on the floor than on the bed. her boyfriend is abusive who treats here like a 'stupid whore' and he's holding her back 'every cloud is in your way' and she 'fell' right off the bed (he pushes her off, presumably after 'using' her). she says she loves him, so doesn't leave, but doesn't want to stay because she wants more.

    Song Meaning:the song isn't trying to be like emo music which by the way, sucks major ass, just another trend for people to follow. but anyway the song is about a girl in love with a guy who treats her like crap, the "she's better off sleeping on the floor" refers to the fact that she would get better treatment somewhere else than she is and that she gets treated like a piece of dirt

    My Interpretation:wow the ignorance which surrounds this site baffles me
    people miss the point of this site and say how much a band "sucks" even without listening to the actual piece that they are critiquing
    anyways
    my interpretation:
    This song is entitled emo surrounding the word emotional, probably because that is the theme and mood of this song and its sound.
    The way i see it is that this song is sung from the point of view of somebody who is witnessing a girl being mistreated, abused (in some way), and has an adulterous partner. The person singing this wants to girl to listen to him and is trying to help her.

    General Comment:i think its about how a guy is in love/likes alot a girl but shes with someone else who treats her like crap and she deserves so much more and the guy who would love and care for her just really wants her to relise that her being wiht this other guy is not what is good for her...but yet she still stays with him.

    but i could b wrong.

    General Comment:Wow, I like how if you speak out against a song, you're immediately an idiot who can't comprehend anything.

    It's called an opinion.
