[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I'm supposed to be runnin', I'm just catchin' my breath
Sayin' congratulations, terrified of what's next
Everything is exploded, twenty hours no sleep
Three o'clock in the mornin', lyin' there in the street
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
Breaking our backs for a pile of sand
Just to have it all fallin' out of our hands
Maybe it all gets lost in the end, but
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
I'll remember you
No matter where our ways may take us to
And even when the memories slip away
Time will test you, I won't let you fade
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
This is supposed to feel different, why do I feel the samе?
Tryin' to get with the rhythm, I'm all over thе place
And the faces in my head say that what was next might just be the last
We don't want to admit that we are never going back
Revisitin' the distance from the present to the past
And don't know how we went from where we were to where we're at
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
Breaking our backs for a pile of sand
Just to have it all fallin' out of our hands
Maybe it all gets lost in the end, but
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
I'll remember you
No matter where our ways may take us to
And even when the memories slip away
Breaking our backs for a pile of sand
Just to have it all fallin' out of our hands
Maybe it all gets lost in the end
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong, Both]
I know I'm the one that you wanna forget, but
I'll remember you
No matter where our ways may take us to
And even when the memories slip away
Time will test you
Time will test you
Time will test you
I won't let you fade
[Outro: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong, Both]
I won't let you fade
I won't let you fade
What was next might just be the last
We don't want to admit that we ain't never going back (I won't let you fade)
Revisitin' the distance from the present to the past
And don't know how we went from where we were to where we're at (I won't let you—)
