Stained - Linkin Park

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

Knowing you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there's blood on your teeth
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 nothing
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 ticking
Sweat in your hands while the time starts ticking
Tripping on words, alibi starts slipping
Tripping on words, alibi starts slipping
Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been living
Wanna wake from the nightmare you've been living
But we both know forgotten doesn't mean forgiven
Doesn't mean forgiven
Forgiven

Knowing you're hiding what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile 'cause there's blood on your teeth
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 nothing
Pretend you're spotless
But I don't wash away
And now you're stained

And someday
Knowing 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
Trying to 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 coming
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
