EASIER TO RUN
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
If I could change I would
Take back the pain
I wouldRetrace every wrong move that I made
I wouldIf I could
Stand up and take the blame
I wouldIf I could take all the shame to the grave
IWould
Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward so
There would never be a past
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
NUMB
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
I'veBecome so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you.
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought
I would beHas fallen apart right in front of you
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take isAnother mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take
And I knowI may end up failing too
But I knowYou were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
DON'T STAY
Sometimes INeed to remember just to breathe
Sometimes INeed you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'mIn disbelief
I didn't know
Somehow INeed you to go
Sometimes IFeel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes IJust feel like screaming at myself
Somestimes I'mIn Disbelief I didn't know
Somehow INeed to be alone
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
[Just give me myself back and]
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
[Just give me myself back and]
Don't Stay
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away
With no apologies
IN THE END
In The End (It starts with)
One thing
I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I knowtime is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you goI kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I triedso hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matterI had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing
I don’t know whyIt doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself howI tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time
when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fallTo lose it all
But in the endIt doesn’t even matter
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should knowI’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should knowI tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fallTo lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter....
Hats off to Linkin Park!
