P5hng Me A*wy
Linkin Park · Reanimation
there's nothing there to see
nothing but my own mistakes
staring back at me
(Backwards) x2
Everything falls apart,
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end, you'll soon find
We're out of time left to watch it all unwind
I've lied to you....(echo)
This is the last smile,
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you.
Everything falls apart,
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end, you'll soon find
(For the sake of being with you)
We're out of time left to watch it all unwind
Everything falls apart,
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice is never knowing...
Why I stay
When you just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
I've tried, like you,
To do everything you wanted to.
This is the last time,
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you.
Everything falls apart,
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
(The sacrifice of hiding in a lie)
Everything has to end, you'll soon find
We're out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing...
Why I stay
When you just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Reverse psychology, failing miserably
ItÂ’s so hard to be left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
ThereÂ’s nothing left but to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes
ThereÂ’s nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me
Asking why...
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stay
When you just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me (x2)
