Stained

[Intro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(And now you're stained)
Yeah

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Hand on my mouth, I shouldn't have said it (Oh)
Gave you a chance, already regret it (Oh)
Tryin' so hard to be sympathetic
But I know where it's gonna go if I let it (Oh)
And I let it

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Knowin' you're hidin' what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there's blood on your teeth (Oh)
What you forget, you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hand's still clean

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Because you're stained
You try to hide the mark, but it won't fade
You lie and lie like I was nothin'
Pretend you're spotless, but I don't wash away
And now you're stained
And now you're stained

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
(Sweat in your, sweat in your, sweat in your)
Sweat in your hands while the time starts tickin' (Sweat in your hands while the time starts tickin')
Trippin' on words, alibi starts slippin' (Trippin' on words, alibi starts slippin')
Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been livin' (Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been livin')
But we both know forgotten doesn't mean forgiven (Mean forgiven; oh)
Forgiven

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Knowin' you're hidin' what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there's blood on your teeth (Oh)
What you forget, you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hand's still clean

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Because you're stained
You try to hide the mark, but it won't fade
You lie and lie like I was nothing
Pretend you're spotless, but I don't wash away
And now you're stained

[Bridge: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
And someday
Knowin' you're hidin' what no one else sees
And someday
Close-lipped smile over blood on your teeth
And someday
What you forget you are gonna repeat
Tryna make amends like your hand's still clean
But we both know that your hand's not clean

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
And someday
Your hands will be too red to hide the blame
You'll realize you had it comin'
Pretend you're spotless, but I don't wash away
And now you're stained
And now you're stained
And now you're stained
