Lyrics of 'Believe Me' by Mike Shinoda

Yeah, see that

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

Ryu:
Yeah, I don't want to be the one to blame
You like fun and games
Keep playing 'em, I'm just saying
Think back then you was like one of the same
On the right track, but I was on the wrong train
'S like that, now you gotta face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain, like a mange you can never escape
The rain every damn day's the same shade of grey

Mike:
Ey, I used to have a little bit of a plan
Used to have a concept to where I stand
But that concept slipped right out of my hand
Now, I don't even really know who I am
Yo, what do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
'n whatever's gonna happen to you
We'll see
But it's not gonna happen to me

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

Mike:
Well back then I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could see all the pain I see
But you proved to me, unintentionally
That you would selfdestruct eventually
Now I'm thinking like the mistake
A m- doesn't hurt
But it's not gonna work 'cause it's really much worse
than I thought
I wished that you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I got

Tak:
Oh, you turn your back and walk away in shame
All you got is a memory and pain
Nothing makes sense, you just stare at the ground
You hear my voice in your head when no one else is
around
What do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
'n whatever's gonna happen to you
We'll see
But it's not gonna happen to me

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

(drums and Mike saying YEAH, let's go)

I guess that this is where we've come to
YEAH
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
YEAH
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

I'll do what I have to do
[You're on your own now believe me]
Whatever happen to you
[You're on your own now believe me]
What do I have to say
[You're on your own now believe me]
It's not gonna happen to me
[You're on your own now believe me]
Yeah, what, woo, that's right

Here's the thing

That you would self destruct eventually
Now i'm thinkin like the mistake that i made doesn't hurt
But it's not gonna work cause its
Really much worse than I thought
I wished you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I've got

Tak:
You turned your back and walk away ashamed
All you got
Empty memory and pain, nothing makes sense
You stare at the ground, like hearin' my voice inside your head when no one else is around
What do i have to say
Maybe i should do what i have to do to break free man

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

(drums and Mike saying YEAH, let's go)

I guess that this is where we've come to
YEAH
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
YEAH
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

I'm doin' what I have to do
You're on your own now believe me
Whatever happens to you
You're on your own now believe me
What do I have to say
You're on your own now believe me
It's not gonna happen to me
You're on your own now believe me
