Breaking the Habit (Live From La Caja Mágica, Madrid, Spain, 11/7/2010)
[Intro]
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another
[Verse 1]
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]
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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]
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused
[Chorus]
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]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
I'm breaking the habit tonight
