Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both] When I pretend everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see When I pretend, I can forget about the criminal I am Stealin' second after second just 'cause I know I can, but [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] I 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 lying my way from [Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] 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 [Verse 2: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington] I remember what they taught to me Remember condescending talk of who I oughta be Remember listenin' to all of that and this again So I pretended up a person who was fittin' in [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] And 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 pullin' away 'Cause I'm lying my way from [Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] 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 [Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both] This isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you runnin' from me Like this, this isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you runnin' from me Like this, (This!) this isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you runnin' from me Like this, (This!) this isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you runnin' from me Like this [Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] 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
