Linkin Park Stained
[Verse 1]
Hand on my mouth, I shouldn't have said it
Gave you a chance, already regret it
Trying so hard to be sympathetic
But I know where it's gonna go if I let it, and I let it
[Pre-Chorus]
Knowing you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile because there's blood on your teeth
What you forget you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hands still clean
[Chorus]
Because you're stained
You try to hide the mark but it won't fade
You lie and lie like I was nothing, petend you're spotless
But I don't wash away and now you're stained
[Bridge]
Sweat in your hands while the time starts ticking
Tripping on words, alibi starts slipping
Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been living
But we both know forgotten doesn't mean forgiven, forgiven
[Pre-Chorus]
Knowing you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile because there's blood on your teeth
What you forget you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hands still clean
[Chorus]
Because you're stained
You try to hide the mark but it won't fade
You lie and lie like I was nothing, petend you're spotless
But I don't wash away and now you're stained
[Post-Chorus]
And someday
Knowing you're hiding what no one else sees
And someday
Close lipped smile because there's blood on your teeth
And someday
You don't get to make amends like your hands still clean
But we both know that you're hands not clean
And someday
[Outro]
Your hands will be too red to hide the blame
You'll realize you had it coming
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
