Don't say you love me, I don't believe it.

If its right,
If its wrong,
Would someone let me know?
It's the game,
I can't play,
Do I just let you go?
Maybe it's just the way it is
cos I get the feeling, that you know it's over.

Don't say you love me,
I don't believe it.
Don't say the words,
If you don't mean it.
Don't want to hear it
Out in the open,
Keep it inside,
If you don't mean it.

Think of thou, I shalt not.
Slave of my passion, no longer.
The shackles that held me down are now broken,
Motion in a line and only a line;
raging fires shall now cease to burn,
your cold indifference the Flame's extinguisher.
Rest now, weary Heart,
you have taken more than you can bear.

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say
I put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free
I, took what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)

Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to them and everyday
I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

Right now, linkin' park is me.


I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream. I don't know why I instigate, to say what I don't mean. I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright. So I'm breaking the habit, tonight.

"I wish I knew how to quit you."

Do you remember the exact moment you lost it?

I do.

And I also remember the pain, the hurt, the confusion, the betrayal and the anger I felt.

You promised.

(Promises are meant to be broken, sure.)

But I already told you - you can't help it if you hurt someone.

So no promises. At least it'll hurt less.

And that's also why I never get too involved; it hurts too much.

I'ld say I love you,

(but fearfully).
