Lyrics Mike Shinoda

Mike Shinoda

Over Again

Sometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye once

You say goodbye over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Sometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye once

You say goodbye over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

It was a month since he 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 be ready to get back up on that stage

Can't remember if I've cancelled any show

But I think about what I'm supposed to do and I don't know

Cause I think about not doing it 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 not 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, sometimes you don't say goodbye once

You say goodbye over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Sometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye once

You say goodbye over and over and over again

Over 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 the 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 middle of a couple songs

And everybody that I talk to is like, "wow

Must be really hard to figure what to do now"

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 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, sometimes you don't say goodbye once

You say goodbye over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Sometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye once

You say goodbye over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Over and over and over again...
