  • Yeah, yo

    You were that foundation
    Never gonna be another one, no
    I followed, so taken
    So conditioned, I could never let go
    Then sorrow, then sickness
    Then the shock when you flip it on me
    So hollow, so vicious
    So afraid, I couldn't let myself see
    That I could never be held
    Back or up, no, I'll hold myself
    Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
    Forget the rest let them know my hell
    Damn, I'm back yep, my soul ain't sell
    Kept respect up, the best they fell
    Let the rest be the tale they tell
    That I was there, saying

    And these promises broken
    Deep below
    Each word gets lost in the echo
    So one last lie I can see through
    This time I finally let you
    Go, go, go

    Test my will, test my heart
    Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
    Y'all go hard, I go smart
    How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?
    I've seen that frustration
    Been crossed and lost and told no
    And I've come back unshaken
    Let down and lived and let go
    So you can let it be known
    I don't hold back, I hold my own
    I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
    I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone
    I can't fall back, I came too far
    Hold myself up and love my scars
    Let the bells ring wherever they are
    'Cause I was there saying

    In these promises broken
    Deep below
    Each word gets lost in the echo
    So one last lie I can see through
    This time I finally let you go

    Go
    Go
    Go
    Go
    Go

    No, you can tell 'em all now
    I don't back up, I don't back down
    I don't fold up, and I don't bow
    I don't roll over, don't know how
    I don't care where the enemies are
    Can't be stopped, all I know, go hard
    Won't forget how I got this far
    For every time, saying

    And these promises broken
    Deep below
    Each word gets lost in the echo
    So one last lie I can see through
    This time I finally let you
    (Go) go
    (Go) go
    (Go) go
    (Go) go
    (Go) go
    (Go) go
    (Go) go Writer/s: Brad Delson, Chester Charles Bennington, Dave Farrell, Joseph Hahn, Mike Shinoda, Robert G. Bourdon
