Mike Shinoda - Over Again

sometimes /2x
you don’t say goodbye once
you say goodbye over and over and over again
sometimes /2x
you don’t say goodbye once
you say goodbye over and over and over again
and over and over again

it was a month since e passed
maybe less
and no one knew what to do
we were such a mess
we were texting
we were calling
we were checking in
we said we ought to play a show in honor of our friend
well now that show’s finally here
it’s tonight
supposed to go to the bowl
get on stage
dim the lights
with our friends
and our family
in his name
celebrate
there’s no way that I’ll bready to get back up on that stage
can’t remember if I’ve cancelled any show
but I’m thing about what I’m supposed to do and I don’t know
cause I think about not doing it
in the same way as before
and it makes me wanna puke my fucking guts out on the floor
we rehearsed it for a month
I’m worried about the set
I get tackled by the grief at times that I would least expect
I know what I should be doing when I’m singing but instead
we’ll be playing through a song and I’d remember in my head

sometimes /2x
you don’t say goodbye once
you say goodbye over and over and over again
sometimes /2x
you don’t say goodbye once
you say goodbye over and over and over again
and over and over again

what are they saying, I’m not raw?
what the fuck you take me for?
all the sudden you hear what I’ve said a hundred ways before?
I been pushed, I been trapped
drug myself through hell and back and
fallen flat and had he balls to start it all again from scratch
how do you feel
how you doing
how’d the show go?
am I insane to say the truth is that I don’t know
my body aches
heads spinning this is all wrong
I almost lost it in the middle of a couple songs
and everybody that I talk to is like,
“wow, must be really hard to figure out what to do?”
well, thank you genius
you think it’ll be a challenge
only my life’s work hanging in the fucking balance
and all I wanted was to get a little a bit of closure
and every step I took I looked and wasn’t any closer
cause sometimes when you say goodbye yeah you say it
over and over and over and over

sometimes /2x
you don’t say goodbye once
you say goodbye over and over and over again
sometimes /2x
you don’t say goodbye once
you say goodbye over and over and over again
and over and over again
