Stained
Linkin Park
(Because you're stained)
Yeah
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
Know when you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there's blood in your teeth
What you forget you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hand's still clean
'Cause 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
Now you're stained
Sweat in your hands while the time starts ticking (sweat in your hands while the time starts ticking)
Tripping on words, alibi starts slipping (tripping on words, alibi starts slipping)
Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been living (wanna wake from the nightmare you've been living)
But we both know forgotten doesn't mean forgiven (mean forgiven), forgiven
Know when you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there's blood in your teeth
What you forget you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hand's still clean
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
(And someday) know when you're hiding what no one else sees
(And someday) close-lipped smile over blood in your teeth
(And someday) what you forget you are gonna repeat
Try to make amends like your hand's still clean
But we both know that your hand's not clean
And someday
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
