  • And the tears fall like rain
    Down my face again
    All the words you wouldn't say
    And the games you played with my unfoolish heart
    Oh, I should've known this from the start

    Oh, the winter and spring
    Going in hand in hand just like my love and pain
    How the thought of you cuts deep within the vein
    Brand new skin stretched across scarred terrain

    Said, I don't wanna be let down
    I don't wanna live that life again
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Said, I don't wanna be let down
    I don't wanna live my lies again
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road

    Oh

    All those years down the drain
    Love was not enough when you want everything
    But what I gave to you and now the end must start
    Oh, I should've listened to my heart

    'Cause I don't wanna be let down
    I don't wanna live that life again
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Said, I don't wanna be let down
    I don't wanna live my lies again
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road

    'Cause I don't wanna be let down
    I don't wanna live that life again
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Said, I don't wanna be let down
    I don't wanna live my lies again
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road
    (I don't wanna be let down)
    Don't wanna be led down the same old road Writer/s: Amir Davidson, Anthony Valcic, Chester Charles Bennington, Ryan Christopher Shuck
