I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
But now there will be no mistakin'
The levees are breakin'
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underwater, I do
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underground
Now I, now I do
[Guitar Solo: Brad Delson]
[Outro: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

The little things give you away (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
The little things give you away (Oh-oh)
The little things give you away (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
The little things give you away (Oh)
All you've ever wanted (The little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (The little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (The little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (The little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (The little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted (The little things give you away)
Was someone to truly look up to you (The little things give you away)
