[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington]
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
Stealing second after second, just 'cause I know I can
But 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 and Mike]
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 and Chester]
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this, again
So, I pretended up a person who was fitting in
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 pulling away
'Cause I'm (Lying my way from...)
[Chorus: Chester and Mike]
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]
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
[Chorus: Chester and Mike]
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
