Stained Songtext
von Linkin Park

(Oh)
(Oh)
(And now you′re stained)
Yeah

Hand on my mouth, I shouldn't have said it (oh)
Gave you a chance, already regret it (oh)
Trying so hard to be sympathetic
But I know where it′s gonna go if I let it (oh)
And I let it

Knowin' you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile ′cause there′s blood on your teeth (oh)
What you forget, you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hand′s still clean

Because you're stained
You try to hide the mark, but it won′t fade
You lie and lie like I was nothin'
Pretend you′re spotless, but I don't wash away
And now you're stained
And now you′re stained


Sweat in your hands while the time starts tickin′
(Sweat in your hands while the time starts tickin')
Trippin′ on words, alibi starts slippin'
(Trippin′ on words, alibi starts slippin')
Wanna wake from the nightmare you′ve been livin'
(Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been livin′)
But we both know forgotten doesn′t mean forgiven (mean forgiven)
Forgiven

Knowin' you′re hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there′s blood on your teeth (oh)
What you forget, you are gonna repeat
You don't get to make amends like your hand′s still clean

Because you're stained
You try to hide the mark, but it won't fade
You lie and lie like I was nothin′
Pretend you′re spotless, but I don't wash away
And now you′re stained

And someday
Knowin' you′re hiding what no one else sees
And someday
Close-lipped smile over blood on your teeth
And someday
What you forget, you are gonna repeat
Tryna make amends like your hand's still clean
But we both know that your hand′s not clean


And someday
Your hands will be too red to hide the blame
You'll realize you had it comin'
Pretend you′re spotless, but I don′t wash away
And now you're stained
And now you′re stained
And now you're stained
