Linkin Park
Breaking the Habit (Original Mike 2002 Demo)
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Down on the floor, back behind the door
I try to catch my breath again
I can't ignore what's back behind the door
Wondering what's next again
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I can say that you're the one
That battles always choose
But sometimes, I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I don't know what we're fighting for
Or why we have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how we got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Memories consume, pacing in the room
Cleaning broken glass again
Suddenly soon you're leaving from the room
It's happening so fast again
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I can say that you're the one
That battles always choose
But sometimes I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I don't know what we're fighting for
Or why we have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how we got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
Crashing into walls
It never was your fault
So here we are again
And this is how it ends
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I don't know what we're fighting for
Or why we have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how we got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
