white noise
LINKIN PARK feat. Alec Puro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left my trust on the firing line
As the promises break the only mistakes giving you what was mine
Your words are clear but their meaning's gone
The notes are right but the tuning's wrong
And when you tell me again that I should give in
I can only take it so long long long long
You had to throw it all away! All away! All away!
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away!
Fear is dancing inside your eyes
Exposing secrets that you've disguised
And I'm biting my tongue as you've become a victim of a compromise
'Cause I know who you really are
Not a scratch when you pretend you're scarred
And it's time that you see the truth without me
I can only make it so far far far far
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away! All away! All away!
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away!
Throw it all away! All away! Way!
Throw it all away! All away! All away! Way!
Throw it all away! All away! All away! Way!
Throw it all away! All away! All away! Way!
Throw it all away! All aw-
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away! All away! All away!
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away! All away! All away!
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away! All away! All away!
You're terrified! Terrified!
You had to throw it all away!

You've been faking it all this time
You've been pretending all along
You left my trust on the firing line
You destroyed my trust completely
As the promises break the only mistakes giving you what was mine
You broke your promises and took what belonged to me
Your words are clear but their meaning's gone
Your words sound clear, but their true intent is lost
The notes are right but the tuning's wrong
The music's notes are correct, but it doesn't sound right
And when you tell me again that I should give in, I can only take it so long long long long
When you ask me to give up, I can't put up with it for too long
Fear is dancing inside your eyes
I can see the fear in your eyes
Exposing secrets that you've disguised
Revealing secrets you've been hiding
And I'm biting my tongue as you've become a victim of a compromise
I'm holding back my words as you compromise yourself
'Cause I know who you really are
I know your true self
Not a scratch when you pretend you're scarred
You act like you're hurt, but you're not
And it's time that you see the truth without me, I can only make it so far far far far
It's time for you to face the truth on your own, as I can't help you for too long
You're terrified! Terrified! You had to throw it all away! All away! All away! You're terrified! Terrified! You had to throw it all away!
