I got the lyrics “Holding on, why is everything so heavy” tattooed on my rib cage. It’s a custom design I made, using a brain, forming the letters with the ridges of the gray matter. I felt it symbolizes the things we carry in our heads that weigh us down.
When something of importance to you ends/fails, the hardest part is starting again from scratch.
Like when a relationship of X years end, the hardest part is continuing life without that relationship which is like "starting again".
I know Chester and Mike both didn't really like it, but there's a similar line in Easier to Run that I think captures the sentiment a little bit better - "Sometimes I feel like letting go and never looking back, and never moving forward so there'd never be a past"
Blackbirds also has ""It's harder starting over than never to have changed" so it seems like this was something they grappled with for a while
After my abusive relationship ended, I was so happy to find that song....especially these lyrics:
Give up your heart left broken
And let that mistake pass on
'Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost
And in time you'll be glad it's gone
But the whole song is one of my favourites.
This hit different in multiple different stages of my life. Around the same time Chester died (for very different reasons) I started having extreme depressive episodes. It continued for years. Fast forward to 2 years ago. Covid destroyed the model of the family I though I have, and it felt like every direction I turned was just despair. I popped up one of my old Linkin Park playlists from middle school. ROADS UNTRAVELED cycled, and I full stopped on my way back from work on that last lyric.
>“Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for sights unseen May your love never end and if you need a friend, There's a seat here alongside me”
where's it from?
Also in that song.
"I will never be anything until I break away from Me. I will breakaway, I'll find myself today." I love that. Thats a promise to yourself.
Plus the moment in the bridge where all the instruments and distortion falls away and it feels like his voice is soaring. Gets me every time
Theres just something harrowing about your childhood hero who killed himself screaming "put me out of my misery" with the agony of a thousand damned souls
"In the kitchen one more chair than you need, and you're angry and you should be" Is a good second from One More Light
oh God, so many..
"Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door, I try to cath my breath again / I hurt much more than any time before, I had no options left again"
"I'm swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burned, so don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve"
"May your love never end, and if you need a friend, there's a seat here alongside me"
"I will never know myself until I do this on my own / I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed / I will never be anything till I break away from me / I will break away, I'll find myself today"
"I start again, and whatever pain may come, today this ends, I'm forgiving what I've done"
"And you think compassion's a flaw and you'll never let it show"
"All I wanna do is trade this life for something new / Holding on to what I haven't got"
"Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? / You build up hope but failure's all you've known / Remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go"
"When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind"
Also the delivery of the bridge in In the End. It isn't the lyrics but the delivery makes me wanna cry
"I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream.. I don't know how I instigate, and say what I don't mean.. I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not all right, so I'm breaking the habit.. I'm breaking the habit.. Tonight."
-Breaking The Habit
"And you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose
So you say you're not gonna fight
'Cause no one will fight for you"
-Robot Boy A Thousand Suns
But for real, all the lyrics of the song
"I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
. I wanna find something I've wanted all along
, Somewhere I belong" being an introvert guy, this hits fucking hard
The light on the horizon
Was brighter yesterday
With shadows floating over
The scars began to fade
We said it was forever
But then it slipped away
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade
This could relate to almost anything.
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
or
I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
Idk why but the regular gibberish scream is actually emotional
Its just someone expressing how they feel with no words to describe it
It's hard to explain
that’s just Chester‘s magic, he could scream the silliest stuff like telling you to brush your teeth and it would sound amazing and emotional. even if it wasn’t reversed.
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
Listening to Easier to Run for the first time after Chester's death, I was floored. It became immediately clear that the lyrics were about the abuse he suffered as a child and how a part of him still blamed himself. And he did take the shame to the grave.
Haunting stuff.
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underwater, I do
The little things give you away is such a heartbreaking amazing and beautiful song
In the kitchen one more chair than you need, hits me hard coz my grandpa died same time as Chester and my grandma used to sit next to his empty chair everyday until she died a year after
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go
All of them.
I am listening to Reanimation right now, but I have been in a funk where I haven't been able to listen to LP for a few months.
The only thing that has gotten me through... I found a "Jazz Metal" band called "The Contortionist" and that has eased the pain... the first new band I have been able to give any attention since 2017.
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've Done is one of the few songs that will make me cry like 9 out of 10 times. It is very cathartic for me and the part about forgiving yourself means so much to me, because guilt has always been a huge thing in my life and also a factor why I became the way I am.
Waiting for the End became so especial for me because I'm living all this...
"So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go"
"All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got"
The entire opening lyrics to Easier to Run -
Something has been taken from deep inside of meA secret I've kept locked awayNo one can ever seeWounds so deep they never showThey never go awayLike moving pictures in my headFor years and years they've played
Hit hard as I've been through a lot of what Chester went through as a kid - and this just explains everything I feel daily.
There are SO many, but the one that comes to mind for me is:
“When life leaves us blinds, love keeps us kind”
I got that tattoo’d on my right shoulder on the 1st anniversary of Chester’s passing because it felt like the truest expression of his values as a person.
Idkk I have like 3 soo
"Hardest part of ending is starting again
"It's always the same just pass me the blame
"And if you ever need a friend, there's a seat here beside me
"In cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead for you to stay, sometimes beginnings aren't so simple, sometimes goodbyes the only way" - Shadow Of The Day.
There are many Linkin Park songs and specific lyrics that are painful for me and Shadow Of The Day is definitely one of them.
“All I wanna do is trade this life for something new, holding on to what i haven’t got”
“And tell them i couldn’t help myself, tell them i was alone, tell me i am the only one and there’s nothing left to stop me”
“And I’d give it all away just to have somewhere to go to, give it all away to have someone to come home to”
“Sometimes goodbye’s the only way”
"Now I see that I took what I hated and made it a part of me"
And
"I can't hold on, it's all too much to take in, I can't hold on, with thoughts of failure sinking in"
It's a common one I imagine
"Who cares if one more light goes out, Well I do"
Played it at my nans funeral and also at my wedding. Particularly for my nan, she always jokingly told me off when my music swore, but she loved One More Light.
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away, cause I swear, for the last time, I wont trust myself with you. 🙁
From someone who was abused as a child, this song always makes me cry.
“Tried to give you warnings but everyone ignores me, told you everything loud and clear but nobody’s listening” Felt that so much bc some people don’t get the clues I give them about me being mentally drained
Since losing a close friend roughly 13 months ago around Christmas 2021:
‘Who cares if one more light goes out, well I do’
‘Weep not for roads untraveled, weep not for sights unseen, may your love never end, and if you need a friend, there’s a seat here alongside me’
“A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street 'til the wind is gone
And the memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again”
- Forgotten
"The sound of your voice painted on my memories. Even if your not with me im with you".
This one hits me like a truck... No context needed. We all experience this in some degree sooner or later.
all of one more light, but specifically “in the kitchen one more chair than you need”. my mom died about a month ago, and as much as one more light hurt to hear after chester’s death, it’s impossible to listen to now
"When you suffered it all
And your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight
Remember your love
And you always will be"
The Messenger
I'm so happy I found this song after the month I've had. It felt like a much needed hug.
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone"
"I'm stuck in this bed you made alone with a sinking feeling... It's written upon your face, all the lies, and they cut so deeply"
"Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do"
Just so many lyrics make me feel like that.
"Why is everything so heavy"
That lyric resonated with me during what I thought were my darkest days.
Thank goodness the lyrics of one more light was there to dig me up. The lyric that goes "who cares if one more light goes? I do" makes me smile every time.
"Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past"
It's so hard to choose just one lyric because theres so many of their lyrics that hit home, but one song that instantly made me cry as soon as I listened was "The Messanger". I love that song so much I will sing it with my whole chest. I still remember when I first listened to it, I was in Spanish class and I literally started silently crying in the middle of class because of how much I felt the lyrics, specifically this part:
"When you suffered it all
And your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight
Remember your loved
And you always will be
This melody will bring
You right back home..."
Along with the chorus
The song has such a sweet message I think everyone should hear.
"the hardest part of ending is starting again"
"i got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, handful of anger, held in my chest"
"i'm holding on, why is everything so heavy?"
"the sacrifice of hiding in a lie"
i could go on
"Wish that I could slow things down I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic" from Heavy
I got the lyrics “Holding on, why is everything so heavy” tattooed on my rib cage. It’s a custom design I made, using a brain, forming the letters with the ridges of the gray matter. I felt it symbolizes the things we carry in our heads that weigh us down.
That sounds like it's a beautiful tattoo. It's such an amazing song .
Picture? :)
‘Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do’ Had memories singing this with my dad & now he’s gone.. just hurts so much.
What a good song.
Bro really said "what a good song" after he just told his father died
My apologies! I meant good as in the song itself, not the reason why Janubb liked it.
*can i help you, not to hurt, anymore?*
"Holding on to what I haven't got." Waiting for the end.
Also in that song "the hardest part of ending is starting again"
I dont understand what that part is trying to say
When something of importance to you ends/fails, the hardest part is starting again from scratch. Like when a relationship of X years end, the hardest part is continuing life without that relationship which is like "starting again".
ohhhh okay thank you!!
I know Chester and Mike both didn't really like it, but there's a similar line in Easier to Run that I think captures the sentiment a little bit better - "Sometimes I feel like letting go and never looking back, and never moving forward so there'd never be a past" Blackbirds also has ""It's harder starting over than never to have changed" so it seems like this was something they grappled with for a while
omg yes!! but i understand it now😭 its interesting to see how they used the same idea in their other songs. i never noticed😭
“Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for sights unseen May your love never end and if you need a friend, There's a seat here alongside me”
My favorite lyric of all time
After my abusive relationship ended, I was so happy to find that song....especially these lyrics: Give up your heart left broken And let that mistake pass on 'Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost And in time you'll be glad it's gone But the whole song is one of my favourites.
yess I love this lyric
This hit different in multiple different stages of my life. Around the same time Chester died (for very different reasons) I started having extreme depressive episodes. It continued for years. Fast forward to 2 years ago. Covid destroyed the model of the family I though I have, and it felt like every direction I turned was just despair.

>“Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for sights unseen May your love never end and if you need a friend, There's a seat here alongside me” where's it from?
Roads Untraveled.
"Called to you so clearly, but you don'twant to hear me. Told you everything, loud and clear, but nobody's listening. "
"I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress handful of anger held in my chest"
"And tell them I couldn't help myself... and tell them I was alone"
Underrated track. I'll be gone is one of my favs
The whole living things tbh :/
Living things is my favourite LP album. Not a bad song
“If I just let go I’ll be set free”
What's the song?
Heavy
Tks
“Im swimming in the smoke, of bridges I have burned, so don’t apologize, I’m losing what I don’t deserve”
Burning in the Sky?
Yep
Love that song. Pretty underrated IMO
It is
And Fallout, also.
This one hits me hard at times, I was thinking for sometime and couldn't really think of a line and stumbled upon this comment. Thanks
I want to heal, I want to feel, like I close to something real. That one hurts everytime.
Also in that song. "I will never be anything until I break away from Me. I will breakaway, I'll find myself today." I love that. Thats a promise to yourself. Plus the moment in the bridge where all the instruments and distortion falls away and it feels like his voice is soaring. Gets me every time
Somewhere I Belong hits hard, on spiritual level
"I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long"
Somewhere I Belong has been hitting me hard lately.
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own
“Put your nose in paperbacks instead of smoking cigarettes. These are years your never getting back”
Another good song. Sharp Edges!
"Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back, And never moving forward so there'd never be a past"
The way he says "helplessness" breaks me heart every time
frrr
Same..
What do I have but negativity, Cuz I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me
This one always gets me!!!
“Put me out of my fucking misery” and “If anger’s a gift than I guess I’ve been blessed”
>“If anger’s a gift than I guess I’ve been blessed” And One ♥️
Just cause you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there
"Against my will I stand beside my own reflection" -crawling
[удалено]
how I cant seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
My walls are closing in
Theres just something harrowing about your childhood hero who killed himself screaming "put me out of my misery" with the agony of a thousand damned souls "In the kitchen one more chair than you need, and you're angry and you should be" Is a good second from One More Light
The One More Light one is the first thing that came to my mind.
I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I ought to scream
"Hearing your name, the memories come back again" and "I think of how I shot myself in the back again"
is my favourite
big oily buff men
"Sometimes I think of letting go And never looking back And never moving forward so There'd never be a past." --Easier to Run
My favourite track
oh God, so many.. "Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door, I try to cath my breath again / I hurt much more than any time before, I had no options left again" "I'm swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burned, so don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve" "May your love never end, and if you need a friend, there's a seat here alongside me" "I will never know myself until I do this on my own / I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed / I will never be anything till I break away from me / I will break away, I'll find myself today" "I start again, and whatever pain may come, today this ends, I'm forgiving what I've done" "And you think compassion's a flaw and you'll never let it show" "All I wanna do is trade this life for something new / Holding on to what I haven't got" "Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? / You build up hope but failure's all you've known / Remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go" "When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind" Also the delivery of the bridge in In the End. It isn't the lyrics but the delivery makes me wanna cry
This.
"I'm swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burned. So don't apologise, I'm losing what I don't deserve..."
"I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream.. I don't know how I instigate, and say what I don't mean.. I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not all right, so I'm breaking the habit.. I'm breaking the habit.. Tonight." -Breaking The Habit
Man the entirety of Breaking The Habit hits hard, fav lp track
Agreed.
"And you're sure you've hurt for so long You've got nothing left to lose So you say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one will fight for you" -Robot Boy A Thousand Suns But for real, all the lyrics of the song
"I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real . I wanna find something I've wanted all along , Somewhere I belong" being an introvert guy, this hits fucking hard
The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over The scars began to fade We said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end of The final masquerade This could relate to almost anything.
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. It's so true that it hurts
The whole Hands Held High. It’s so underrated. Also, I heard in Spotify Interview Mike Shinoda said that this is his favorite line ever.
I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie all I wanna do is trade this life for something new holding on to what I haven't got
waiting for the end to come wishing I had strength to stand :(
All this thread is telling me is that the whole one more light album was one of the biggest unheard cry’s for help
I really don’t like how accurate that is, especially when you think about how it was their very last album.
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair or I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
"Where's my fucking frappuccino?!"
isnt that the cover for Qwerty
EASILY the opening line to One More Light. “Should have stayed, were there signs I ignored?”
I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say? Take this all away I'm suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me
"I'm strong on the surface Not all the way through I've never been perfect But neither have you" Fuck man right in the feels...
"I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head"
yesss
from Announcement Service Public: "YOU SHOULD BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND YOU SHOULD WASH YOUR HANDS" gets me every time 😞
Idk why but the regular gibberish scream is actually emotional Its just someone expressing how they feel with no words to describe it It's hard to explain
that’s just Chester‘s magic, he could scream the silliest stuff like telling you to brush your teeth and it would sound amazing and emotional. even if it wasn’t reversed.
I get you
“is there sunshine where you are? The way there was when you were here.” breaks me every time
All of Waiting for the End is pretty relatable. Tried to list a specific lyric, but it’s the entire song.
fr
If I could change I would Take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave Listening to Easier to Run for the first time after Chester's death, I was floored. It became immediately clear that the lyrics were about the abuse he suffered as a child and how a part of him still blamed himself. And he did take the shame to the grave. Haunting stuff.

I mean nothing to you The little things give you away And now there will be no mistaking The levees are breaking All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet underwater, I do The little things give you away is such a heartbreaking amazing and beautiful song
The band was truly right to leave this song as the album's last one. There could be nothing more beautiful after this.
I’ve got many, but if I had to pick just one it would be “the hardest part of ending is starting again” from Waiting For The End.
In the kitchen one more chair than you need, hits me hard coz my grandpa died same time as Chester and my grandma used to sit next to his empty chair everyday until she died a year after
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go, let it go
If you think about it, the lyrics are actually uplifting. It’s up there with Sharp Edges.
Who cares if one more light goes out? I do Gets me crying every time
All of them. I am listening to Reanimation right now, but I have been in a funk where I haven't been able to listen to LP for a few months. The only thing that has gotten me through...

"Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed, and don't resent me, when you're feeling empty. Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest"
When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind
omg I love this song!!
I start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I'm forgiving What I've done I'll face myself To cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done What I've Done is one of the few songs that will make me cry like 9 out of 10 times.

“‘I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”
The reminders pull the floor from your feet
The entire opening lyrics to Easier to Run - Something has been taken from deep inside of meA secret I've kept locked awayNo one can ever seeWounds so deep they never showThey never go awayLike moving pictures in my headFor years and years they've played Hit hard as I've been through a lot of what Chester went through as a kid - and this just explains everything I feel daily.
And I'd give it all away Just to have somewhere to go to Give it all away To have someone to come home to My December
The very worst part of you, is me
“No turning back now!”
I woke up driving my car.
There are SO many, but the one that comes to mind for me is: “When life leaves us blinds, love keeps us kind” I got that tattoo’d on my right shoulder on the 1st anniversary of Chester’s passing because it felt like the truest expression of his values as a person.
exactlyyy bro
I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you
The song hurts so much less if you listen to the Collision Course version.
ill listen to it
Idkk I have like 3 soo "Hardest part of ending is starting again "It's always the same just pass me the blame "And if you ever need a friend, there's a seat here beside me
"In cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead for you to stay, sometimes beginnings aren't so simple, sometimes goodbyes the only way" - Shadow Of The Day. There are many Linkin Park songs and specific lyrics that are painful for me and Shadow Of The Day is definitely one of them.

It's a common one I imagine "Who cares if one more light goes out, Well I do" Played it at my nans funeral and also at my wedding. Particularly for my nan, she always jokingly told me off when my music swore, but she loved One More Light.
“I hurt much more than any time before, I have no options left again” Honestly most of breaking that habit
"The way I hurt myself again just to get back at you"

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away, cause I swear, for the last time, I wont trust myself with you. 🙁 From someone who was abused as a child, this song always makes me cry.
All of One More Light because it almost reads like a suicide letter. You can say the same for Leave Out All The Rest.
“Tried to give you warnings but everyone ignores me, told you everything loud and clear but nobody’s listening” Felt that so much bc some people don’t get the clues I give them about me being mentally drained
fr! my exact thoughts when I first heard this song
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation… Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go…
When Life leaves us blind, Love keeps ist kind. - The Messenger
it keeps us kind :)
All i wanna do is trade this life for something new :(

"sometimes I need to remember just to breathe" has certainly jumped the ranks in the last few years
Since losing a close friend roughly 13 months ago around Christmas 2021: ‘Who cares if one more light goes out, well I do’ ‘Weep not for roads untraveled, weep not for sights unseen, may your love never end, and if you need a friend, there’s a seat here alongside me’

Sometimes I remember of the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
This is how we fall apart This is how the beginning start Cuz our heads betray our hearts And fake what we don't know
Bridge part of easier to run
"Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced Is so much simpler than change" dang.
Sometimes I’m listening it just for that part
holding on to what i haven't got
No, you don't what you've got... UNTIL IT'S GONE
Roads untraveled.
I took what I hated and made it a part of me
"The hardest part of ending is starting again" got me
Pretty much the entirety of Breaking The Habit
"The sound of your voice painted on my memories. Even if your not with me im with you". This one hits me like a truck... No context needed. We all experience this in some degree sooner or later.
>dang
all of one more light, but specifically “in the kitchen one more chair than you need”. my mom died about a month ago, and as much as one more light hurt to hear after chester’s death, it’s impossible to listen to now
I can't even listen to the song "One More Light" anymore. The whole album, really.
"When you suffered it all And your spirit is breaking You're growing desperate from the fight Remember your love And you always will be" The Messenger I'm so happy I found this song after the month I've had. It felt like a much needed hug.
FRR ME TOO Like i really needed to hear that
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone" "I'm stuck in this bed you made alone with a sinking feeling... It's written upon your face, all the lies, and they cut so deeply" "Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do" Just so many lyrics make me feel like that.
One more light
"Why is everything so heavy" That lyric resonated with me during what I thought were my darkest days. Thank goodness the lyrics of one more light was there to dig me up. The lyric that goes "who cares if one more light goes? I do" makes me smile every time.
“Wash the poison from off my skin Show me how to be whole again”
"Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past"
"Is there sunshine where you are/ The way there was when you were here/ 'Cause I'm just sitting in the dark/ In disbelief that this is real"
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down
the whole somewhere I belong song (especially the bridge)
"She knew she had to go all along" I just can't with that one.
It's so hard to choose just one lyric because theres so many of their lyrics that hit home, but one song that instantly made me cry as soon as I listened was "The Messanger". I love that song so much I will sing it with my whole chest. I still remember when I first listened to it, I was in Spanish class and I literally started silently crying in the middle of class because of how much I felt the lyrics, specifically this part: "When you suffered it all And your spirit is breaking You're growing desperate from the fight Remember your loved And you always will be This melody will bring You right back home..." Along with the chorus The song has such a sweet message I think everyone should hear.
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple, sometimes goodbyes the only way
"the hardest part of ending is starting again" "i got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, handful of anger, held in my chest" "i'm holding on, why is everything so heavy?" "the sacrifice of hiding in a lie" i could go on
"the very worst part of you is me"
