Carousel

(album: Hybrid Theory - 1999)

[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguised behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside

All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well, all she's got to do is stop kidding herself

She can only fool herself for so long [3x]
I'm too weak to face me
(she can only fool herself)

[Chester Bennington:]
I never know just why you run so far away, far away from me [2x]

[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]
When it comes to how to live his life he can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality it'd be a problem to just quit

An addict and he can't hold the reins
The pain is worse 'cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long [3x]
I'm too weak to face me
(he can only fool himself)

[Chester Bennington:]
I never know just why you run so far away, far away from me [2x]

[Mike Shinoda:]
Fly with me under the wings I gave you,
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you
[2x]

I never know just why you run so far away, far away from me [2x]
