Original Lyrics

English
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
Just a scar somewhere down inside of me
Something I can not repair
Even though it will always be
I pretend it isn't there (This is how I feel)
I'm trapped in yesterday (Just a memory)
Where the pain is all I know (This is all I know)

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And I'll never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
But I'm tired, I will always be afraid
Of the damage I've received
Broken promises they made
And how blindly I believed (This is all I know)

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I will never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright (I'm lost)
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright (I'm lost)
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion
