[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
It starts with one / then spreads until the world feels spun
And under the burning sun you chase what’s yet to come
But if it slips away, there's nowhere left to run
Cracks appear / it’s all so surreal
They're pulling strings to shape the end of what you feel
Sending you back to places that reveal
The cracks within / before they start to heal
And still, they hide behind their lies
With shadows cast by fading skies
And shining through a broken steel
Reflecting all your hopes and fears
As I write this down, the way I feel
Hear the echoes in my mind
As it seems you played your part so well
Like you’re heartless, tearing apart this shell
In the darkness / I know I've tried so hard
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
I tried so hard / and got so far
Yet, in the end / it’s broken hearts that matter
I had to lose / to understand
But, in the end / it doesn't even matter
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
I’ve looked ahead / and what I see is not what should be
Bound by the scars they fought to hide from me
Trying to make me part of their history
And now I realize I’ve got no choice
No respite / deceivers and liars lead to wrong turns
And as the tightrope narrows / begins to fray
I can only hope they turn their gaze away
From the twilight through the broken glass
And the shimmer on a steel facade
See the glow within your face
As I write this down, guided by what I feel
Hear the voices in my dreaming
As it seems you played your part so well
Like you’re heartless, tearing apart this shell
In the darkness / yet I know I've tried so hard
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
I tried so hard / and got so far
Yet, in the end / it’s broken hearts that matter
I had to lose / to understand
But, in the end / it doesn't even matter
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
I place my trust / in you
Push as far as I can go
Through it all / there’s only one thing
You should know
I place my trust / in you
Push as far as I can go
Through it all / there’s only one thing
You should know
I place my trust / in you
Push as far as I can go
Through it all / there’s only one thing
You should know
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
I tried so hard / and got so far
But, in the end / it doesn't even matter
I had to fall / to lose it all
But, in the end / it doesn't even matter
