Linkin Park - 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 know
Time 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 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 go.
I kept every thing inside, and even though I tried, it all fell apart.
What it meant to me will eventually, be a memory,of a time when-

(Chorus):
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.

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 remind myself how-
I tried so hard.
Inspite of the way you were mocking me,
Acting like I was part of your property.
Remebering 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 every thing inside,and even though I tried, It all fell apart.
What it meant to me will eventually, be a memory, of a time when-

(Chorus):
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.

(Bridge):
I put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go.
For all this,
There's only one thing you should know.
I put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go.
For all this,
There's only one thing you should know.

(Chorus):
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.

(Piano)

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first.
Or how the pressure was fed/but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
[And watches everything]
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here
in me/right underneath my skin

Chorus:
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
but I know what I can stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches everytime they lie
A face that laughs everytime they fall
[And watches everything]
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too,
right inside your skin

[Chorus]

(the face inside is right beneath
your skin 3x after chorus)

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

[Repeat Chorus 4x]

(The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me) said with chorus

I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
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)
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 never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away
Why I playe myself this way
Now i see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried, like you
To do everything you wanted too
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 never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away
Why I playe myself this way
Now i see your testing me pushes me away

We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away
Why I playe myself this way
Now i see your testing me pushes me away

Pushes me away...
Pushes me away...
