"Don't Stay" Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe Sometimes I need you to stay away from me Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need you to go [Chorus:] 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 Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need to be alone [Chorus] 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 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 [Chorus] Don't stay Don't stay "Somewhere I Belong" (When this began) I had nothing to say And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find That I’m not the only person with these things in mind (Inside of me) But all that they can see the words revealed Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel (Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own [Chorus] I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something

"Don't Stay"

Sometimes I need to remember just to breatheSometimes I need you to stay away from meSometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t knowSomehow I need you to go

[Chorus:]Don’t stayForget our memoriesForget our possibilitiesWhat you were changing me intoJust give me myself back andDon’t stayForget our memoriesForget our possibilitiesTake all your faithlessness with youJust give me myself back andDon’t stay

Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too wellSometimes I just feel like screaming at myselfSometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t knowSomehow I need to be alone

[Chorus]

I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignoredI don’t need one more day of you wasting me awayI don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignoredI don’t need one more day of you wasting me away

With no apologies

[Chorus]

Don't stay

Don't stay

"Somewhere I Belong"

(When this began)I had nothing to sayAnd I get lost in the nothingness inside of me(I was confused)And I let it all out to findThat I’m not the only person with these things in mind(Inside of me)But all that they can see the words revealedIs the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel(Nothing to lose)Just stuck, hollow and aloneAnd the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Chorus]I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never realI wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something realI wanna find something I’ve wanted all alongSomewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to sayI can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face(I was confused)Looking everywhere only to findThat it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind(So what am I)What do I have but negativity’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me(Nothing to lose)Nothing to gain, hollow and aloneAnd the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Repeat Chorus]

I will never know myself until I do this on

Page 2: Meteora lyrics

my ownAnd I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healedI will never be anything till I break away from meI will break away, I'll find myself today

[Repeat Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belongI wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belongSomewhere I belong

"Lying From You"

When I pretend everything is what I want it to beI look exactly like what you had always wanted to seeWhen I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I amStealing second after second just cause I know I can butI can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay I’m just(trying to bend the truth)I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m[Chorus:](Lying my way from you)No no turning back now(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)No no turning back now(Let me take back my life,I’d rather be all alone)No turning back now(Anywhere on my own cause I can see)No no turning back now(The very worst part of you is me)

I remember what they taught to meRemember condescending talk of who I ought to beRemember listening to all of that and this

againSo I pretended up a person who was fittin’ inAnd now you think this person really is me and I’m(Trying to bend the truth)But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cause I'm[Chorus:](Lying my way from you)No no turning back now(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)No no turning back now(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)No turning back now(Anywhere on my own cause I can see)No no turning back now(The very worst part of you)(The very worst part of you is ME)

This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said wouldhave you running from meLike ThisThis isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said wouldhave you running from meLike ThisThis isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said wouldhave you running from meLike ThisThis isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said wouldhave you running from meLike This[Chorus:](You)No turning back now(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)No no turning back now(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)No turning back now(Anywhere on my own cause I can see)No no turning back now(The very worst part of you)(The very worst part of you is me)

"Hit The Floor"

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of meWondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesyToo many times that I’ve held on when I needed to push awayAfraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to sayToo many things that you've said about me when I’m not aroundYou think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me downBut I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can standSo I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

[Chorus](One minute you're on top)The next you're not watch it drop(Making your heart stop)Just before you hit the floor(One minute you're on top)Next you're not missed your shot(Making you're heart stop)You think you've won(And then its all gone)

So many people like me put so much trust in all your liesSo concerned with what you think to just say what we feel insideSo many people like me walk on eggshells all day longAll I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not stepped onThere are so many things you say that make me feel you've crossed the lineWhat goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the timeCause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can standSo I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

[Chorus](One minute you're on top)The next you're not watch it drop(Making your heart stop)Just before you hit the floor

(One minute you're on top)Next you're not missed your shot(Making you're heart stop)You think you've won(And then its all gone)(And then it’s all gone)(And then its all gone)(And then it’s all gone)(Now it’s all gone)

I know I’ll never trust a single thing you sayYou knew your lies would divide us but you lied anywayAnd all the lies have got you floating up above us allBut what goes up has got to fall

[Chorus](One minute you're on top)The next you're not watch it drop(Making your heart stop)Just before you hit the floor(One minute you're on top)Next you're not missed your shot(Making you're heart stop)You think you've won(And then its all gone)(And then it’s all gone)(And then its all gone)(And then it’s all gone)(Now it’s all gone)

"Easier To Run"It's easier to runReplacing this pain with something numbIt's so much easier to goThan face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of meThe secret I've kept locked away no one can ever seeWounds so deep they never show they never go awayLike moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)(I would take all my shame to the grave)

[Chorus]It's easier to runReplacing this pain with something numbIt's so much easier to goThan face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my pastBringing back these memories I wish I didn't haveSometimes I think of letting go and never looking backAnd never moving forward so there'd never be a past

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)

(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Just washing it asideAll of the helplessness insidePretending I don't feel misplacedIt's so much simpler than change

[Chorus]It's easier to runReplacing this pain with something numbIt's so much easier to goThan face all this pain here all alone

It's easier to run(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)(Retrace every wrong move that I made)It's easier to go(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)(I would take all my shame to the grave)

"Faint"

I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregardHandful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everyone can see these scarsI am what I want you to want what I want you to feelBut it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is realSo I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always doFace away and pretend that I'm notBut I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got

[Chorus]I can't feel the way I did beforeDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignoredTime won't heal this damage anymoreDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignored

I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident'Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make senseI am what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubtIt's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me outSo I let go watching you turn your back like you always doFace away and pretend that I'm notBut I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got

[Chorus]I can't feel the way I did beforeDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignoredTime won't heal this damage anymoreDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignored

NowHear me out nowYou're gonna listen to me, like it or notRight nowHear me out nowYou're gonna listen to me, like it or not

Right now

I can't feel the way I did beforeDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignored

[Chorus]I can't feel the way I did beforeDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignoredTime won't heal this damage anymoreDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignored

I can't feelDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignoredTime won't healDon't turn your back on meI won't be ignored

"Figure.09"

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to themSometimes I wonder why this is happeningIt's like nothing I can do would distract me whenI think of how I shot myself in the back again'Cause from the infinite words I could say IPut all pain you gave to me on displayBut didn't realize instead of setting it free ITook what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)(Never goes away)

[Chorus](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)

Page 6: Meteora lyrics

(Giving up a part of me)(I've let myself become you)

Hearing your name the memories come back againI remember when it started happeningI see you in every thought I had and thenThe thoughts slowly found words attached to themAnd I knew as they escaped awayI was committing myself to them and everydayI regret saying those things cuz now I see that ITook what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)(Never goes away)

[Chorus](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)

(Never goes away)(Never goes away)(Never goes away)(Never goes away)

(Get away from me)Give me my space back you gotta just(Go)Everything comes down the memories of(You)I've kept it in but now I'm letting you(Know)I let you go so get away from(Me)Give me my space back you gotta just(Go)Everything comes down the memories of(You)I've kept it but now I'm letting you(Know)

I let you go

(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)

I've let myself become youI've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of youGiving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

"Breaking The Habit"

Memories consumeLike opening the woundI'm picking me apart againYou all assumeI'm safe here in my roomUnless I try to start again

[Pre-Chorus:]I don't want to be the oneThe battles always choose'Cause inside I realizeThat I'm the one confused

[Chorus:]I don't know what's worth fighting forOr why I have to scream.I don't know why I instigateAnd say what I don't mean.I don't know how I got this wayI know it's not alright.So I'm breaking the habit,I'm breaking the habitTonight

Clutching my cureI tightly lock the door

Page 7: Meteora lyrics

I try to catch my breath againI hurt much moreThan anytime beforeI had no options left again

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus:]I don't know what's worth fighting forOr why I have to scream.I don't know why I instigateAnd say what I don't mean.I don't know how I got this wayI'll never be alrightSo I'm breaking the habit,I'm breaking the habitTonight

[Bridge:]I'll paint it on the walls'Cause I'm the one at faultsI'll never fight againAnd this is how it ends

[Chorus:]I don't know what's worth fighting forOr why I have to screamBut now I have some clarityTo show you what I meanI don't know how I got this wayI'll never be alrightSo, I'm breaking the habitI'm breaking the habitI’m breaking the habitTonight

"From The Inside"

I don’t know who to trust no surprise(Everyone feels so far away from me)Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)(All I ever think about is this)(All the tiring time between)(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

[Chorus]Take everything from the inside and throw it all awayCuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you

Tension is building inside steadily(Everyone feels so far away from me)Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)(All I ever think about is this)(All the tiring time between)(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

[Chorus]Take everything from the inside and throw it all awayCuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you

I won’t waste myself on youYouYouWaste myself on youYouYou

I’ll take everything from the inside and throw it all awayCuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust

Page 8: Meteora lyrics

myself with you

Everything from the inside and just throw it all awayCuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with youYouYou

"Nobody’s Listening"

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for itThe number one question is how could you ignore itWe drop right back in the cut over basement tracksWith raps that got you backing this up likeRewind that we're just rolling with the rhythmRise from the ashes of stylistic divisionWith these non-stop lyrics of life livingNot to be forgotten but still unforgivenBut in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and thatSo I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurtAnd get dirty with the people spreading the dirt

it goes

[Chorus](Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)Told you everything loud and clear(But nobody’s listening)(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)Told you everything loud and clear(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stresshandfull of anger, held in my chestAnd everything left’s a waste of timeI hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more

I’m riding on the back of this pressureGuessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself togetherBecause all of this stress gave me something to write onThe pain gave me something I could set my sights onNever forget the blood sweat and tearsThe uphill struggle over years the fear andTrash talking and the people it was toAnd the people that started it just like you

[Chorus](Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)Told you everything loud and clear(But nobody’s listening)(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)Told you everything loud and clear(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stresshandfull of anger, held in my chestUphill struggleBlood sweat and tearsNothing to gainEverything to fear

Heart full of pain, head full of stresshandfull of anger, held in my chestUphill struggleBlood sweat and tearsNothing to gainEverything to fear

Heart full of pain

[Chorus](Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)Told you everything loud and clear(But nobody’s listening)(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)Told you everything loud and clear(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress(Nobody’s listening)

Page 9: Meteora lyrics

handfull of anger, held in my chest(Nobody’s listening)Uphill struggleBlood sweat and tears(Nobody’s listening)Nothing to gainEverything to fear(Nobody’s listening)

Coming at you from every side

"Numb"

I'm tired of being what you want me to beFeeling so faithless, lost under the surfaceDon't know what you're expecting of mePut 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(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you thereBecome so tired, so much more awareI'm becoming this, all I want to doIs 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 is another mistake to you.(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)And every second I waste is more than I can take.

[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you

there,Become so tired, so much more awareI'm becoming this, all I want to doIs be more like me and be less like you.

And I knowI may end up failing too.But I knowYou were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,Become so tired, so much more aware.I'm becoming this, all I want to doIs be more like me and be less like you.

[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
