[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faith
What you build, you lay to waste
There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this in pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets and regrets, don't lie
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
Then chill me to the bone
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this in pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets and regrets, don't lie
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this in pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets and regrets, don't lie

Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington said:
I got divorced recently and that was very difficult. I also got remarried so there was a big contrast in my life. For a while I couldn’t be completely happy with the new life I was starting and I couldn’t end the last one. This is a song about all of that...
