Breaking The Habit (Live Rock am Ring 2004)
[Intro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
I didn't come over here to say hi to you guys
Yeah, what's up?
Hi
Hi
Here
Alright, you guys
I'm gonna take aback a notch real quick
Memories consume like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
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 know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
Memories consume like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
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 know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
[Interlude: Mike Shinoda]
Keep it up!
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than anytime before
I had no options left again
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
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
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
[Outro: Chester Bennington]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now, I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight
