Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
Crush... Crush... Crush...
Crush, crush (1, 2, 3, 4!)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
Breaking Benjamin is just amazing. Such expressions of agony are hard to come by!
don't ever look back
they'll tear us apart
if you give them the chance
don't sell your heart
don't say we're not meant to be
run baby run
forever will be
you and me
check yes juliet
i'll be waiting
wishing, wanting
yours for the taking
just sneak out
and don't tell a soul goodbye
check yes juliet
here's the countdown
3... 2... 1... now fall in my arms
May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm
Because all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's so relatable.
I'm falling in and out of love,Finally stopping what we were made of.
"Oh, you're done. "
By summer I'll have you on your knees,
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth.
And it's oh so typical but what I need.
I'm writing books through letters,
That I'm sure you'll never read.
I'm searching through a postcard,
To find any trace of me.
But you've traded thoughts of me,
For this new life that comes cheap.
And I can only pray it falls beneath your feet.
It's got some of their best lyrics ever!
He calls her upHe's trippin on the phone now
He doesn't want her out there
And alone now
He knows she's movin it
Knows she's using it
Now he's losing it
She don't care
Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you've got nothing left
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Loved this song from the very first time I heard it. Awesome lyrics.
She made the music come to lifeShe moved her body like a butcher knife
Chopping up every guy in sight
She was mysterious
I could not resist to save my life
I don't know what this girl was after
She's a natural, natural disaster
She's so sexy
I had to have her
She's a natural, natural disaster
Natural disaster
Incredibly powerful, and a perfect explanation of the feelings undergone by anyone who has ever experienced loss. Perfect.
Definitely deserves to be higher up this list!
Let the wind carry you home, blackbird. Fly away.
Now take my hand and we will run awayDown to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over, it's over, it's over
Lay down with me
And let me hold you, baby just breathe
This is ending
We will get through eventually
It should be higher than a lot of so-called "Alternative" songs.
Linkin Park is not just a band. It is a lesson.
I think I've lost my wayBut that's just not news today
Because the story's old
The black and white
Have gone to grey
The story's old
The black and white
Have gone to grey
And you were right
Cause I finally lost my way
