Breathe A Sigh

written by Phil Collen

Lay me down slow and easy,
Cause there ain't nothing I can do,
I hope and pray my Faith won't leave me,
When it comes down to me and you.

Try a little tenderness,
Die a little for a long/lost sweet caress.

You laying next to me,
Fulfill some Destiny,
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh.

Just a little bit of letting go,
I don't want you to know,
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh.

Overflow of emotion,
And a hurt that'll never heal?
If you close the door forever,
The fate of pain is sealed.

Try a little tenderness,
Die a little for a long/lost sweet caress.

You laying next to me,
Can't get you out of my head,
Fulfill some Destiny,
And into my arms,
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh.

Just a little bit of letting go,
Just a little bit of tenderness,
I don't want you to know,
And you could be strong,
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh.

I more than long for your affection,
I love you more than life,
I tell you know that that ain't so,
I want you more than life,
Not even gentle persuation,
You feel so close to me,
Is ever gonna let me go,
I wanna say...

You laying next to me,
Can't get you out of my head,
Fulfill some Destiny,
And into my arms,
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh.

Just a little bit of letting go,
Try some tenderness,
I don't want you to know,
And you could be strong,
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh.

Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh.

Don't Shoot Shotgun

written by Joe Elliott, Mutt Lange, Phil Collen, Rich Allen, Rick Savage, & Steve Clark

Run for cover!
Don't shoot!
Shoot!
She's so dangerous!
Shot gun!
Gun!
Don't shoot shotgun!

Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe I'm right,
Falling head over heels,
At the speed of light.

Hey Little Miss Heaven on Earth,
Won't you walk this way?
But I see a Red Alert,
My senses say keep away.

So don't shoot!
Don't shoot shotgun.

Dream on nightmare,
Touch'n'go,
Dove turned Destroyer,
She cut you up,
She's a slave of love.

Run for cover,
She's so dangerous,
Undercover,
She's so dangerous.

So don't shoot shotgun,
You got me biting my lip,
Don't shoot shotgun,
You're shooting straight from the hip.

So don't shoot shotgun!
Shoot me, Baby!

Hit'n'miss,
Flesh and blood,
She's sweet and indiscreet,
She can't get enough.

A little Midnight Madness,
You can't hide,
So wild and unpredictable,
Step aside you're shooting wide.

Run for cover,
She's so dangerous,
Undercover,
She's so dangerous.

So don't shoot shotgun,
You got me biting my lip,
Don't shoot shotgun,
You're shooting straight from the hip.

Shake it!
Shake it!
Take this Little Hit'n'Miss!

Don't shoot shotgun,
You got me biting my lip,
Don't shoot shotgun,
You're shooting straight from the hip.

Don't shoot shotgun,
Shake it!
Shake it!
Take this Little Hit'n'Miss!

Don't shoot shotgun,
Don't shoot it!
Don't shoot it!
Shotgun!

Shoot me, Baby!

From The Inside

written by Joe Elliott

I am bad,
I am evil,
I am Winter,
I am pain.

I'll mess up your life,
I'll beat up your wife,
I'll lose all your friends,
And I'll win in the end.

So you play the Joker and I'll play the Clown,
And I'll laugh while you're up there,
And I'll laugh when you're down,
Though your screams break the silence,
For they won't make a sound.

I will rise,
I will take you,
I will break you,
Never let you go.

I'll shoot through your viens,
I'll drive you insane,
I'll poison your breathe,
And I'll love you to death.

So you be the Joker and I'll be the Clown,
And you laugh when you're up there,
But you cry when you're down,
Though your screams break the silence,
For they won't make a sound.

So you play the Joker and I'll play the Clown,
And I'll laugh while you're up there,
And I'll laugh when you're down,
Though your screams break the silence,
For they won't make a sound.

Easier To Run

written by Brad Delson, Chester Bennington, Dave Farrell, Joseph Hahn, Mike Shinoda, & Robert Bourdon

It's easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It's so much easier to go,
Then face all this pain here all alone.

Something has been taken from deep inside of me,
A secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see,
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away,
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they play.

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would.

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all my shame to the grave.

It’s easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It’s so much easier to go,
Than face all this pain here all alone.

Sometimes I remember the Darkness of my Past,
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have,
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back,
And never moving forward so there'd never be a Past.

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would.

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all my shame to the grave.

Just washing it aside,
All of the helplessness inside,
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced,
Is so much simpler than change.

It’s easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It’s so much easier to go,
Than face all this pain here all alone.

It's easier to run,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made.

It's easier to go,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all my shame to the grave.

From The Inside

written by Brad Delson, Chester Bennington, Dave Farrell, Joseph Hahn, Mike Shinoda, & Robert Bourdon

I don't know who to trust no surprise,
Everyone feels so faraway from me,
Heavy thoughts sift through the dust and the lies.

Trying not to break,
But I'm so tired of this deciet,
Everytime I try to make myself,
Get back upon my feet.

All I ever think about is this,
All the tiring time between,
And how trying to put my trust in you,
Just takes so much out of me.

Take everything from the inside,
And throw it all away,
Cause I swear for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you.

Tention is building inside steadily,
Everyone feels so faraway from me,
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me.

Trying not to break,
But I'm so tired of this deciet,
Everytime I try to make myself,
Get back upon my feet.


All I ever think about is this,
And all the tiring time between,
And how trying to put my trust in you,
Just takes so much out of me.

Take everything from the inside,
And throw it all away,
Cause I swear for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you.

I won't waste myself on you!
You!
You!

Waste myself on you!
You!
You!

I'll take everything from the inside,
And throw it all away,
Cause I swear for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you.

Everything from the inside,
And just throw it all away,
Cause I swear for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you.

You!
You!
