Song lyrics
Memories consume like opening the wound 
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume, I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight...

Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more, than any time before
I have no options left again

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight…

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity 
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight...

This song is awesome.. as are all of LP's songs. I saw avideo for it but im not sure if it was an official one. Liknin park is one of the only bands whos lyrics actually mean something... that combined with their sound makes LP the perfect band!!!

everyone is givin credit to the song text, when mike in reality had this idea for a song (the music) for 6 years while he spent a day writing the text...
the song is a bit more "nude" than theyre others. theres not that much bass and such in f. ex. "from the inside" or "numb" and thats what i like about it, not the text... here's some theory for ya linkin park haters... LP ROCKS!!!!!
.....even though the rythm is a bit....
...and "nobody's listening" is a good song!...

Not my favorite song off Meteora, Figure.09 and From The Inside are better, IMO. But this is the best song lyrically on the album. It's about self-harm, and it can't be about Chester's drug problems, because Mike wrote it. Mike didin't know Chester as a kid. The only thing I don't like about this song is the boring riff, but it kind of adds to the unique quality of this songh as compared to other LP stuff. Overall, 4/3/3/5/5.

in response to Miggz...

yeah, i re-read the packlet that came with Meteora and forgot Mike had written it 5 years ago. Easier to Run is Chester's song with drugs. I must have gotten confused. And Breaking the Habit isn't just about self harm. It's about drug additction (breaking the habit) its about cheating (breaking the habit) self injury (you know..) and suicide...all into one. Overall, Michael Kenji Shinoda defintly included everyone in the song except people without problems, heh.

im such a dork

Guess what time it is? Thats right! Its time to.... RATE THAT SONG! I'm back tee hee. I have been a fan of Linkin Park since their first album, and I hope to hear more of them. This song is put together well, a good beat, wonderful lyrics, and the classic sound you can only get from listenin to Linkin Park! Overall, I give it a 4.
This has been Jake, the rater of songs!

linkin park is a great band. they are unlike any other band that's out there and that's why i love them. they have their own individual style thats easily distinguishable from any other band.

Breaking the Habit is my favorite song by them. (A place for my head is my second fave)

i have to say the only song i strong dislike by them is 'cure for the itch' because everytime i listen to it i picture chester feverishly scratching himself all over. its quite disturbing. lol

I have alway liked Linkin Parks songs a lot! But somehow this song just never catched my attension, so a find it a little boring. Am I weird?

Awsome song. I love to love 'em. But I actually like Numb better...and the chorus of In The End.
PS: The video was amazing.
