Song lyrics
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done

I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

What I've done
Forgiving what I've done

This seems like it would be their FIRST song, not the first release of their FOURTH CD. It's a bit too pop-ish for LP's style, and is unlike the rest of their songs on their CD. It's still good though.

Definitely one of the best LP songs, my favorite for sure. OVerall though, I didnt like the new album MtM half as much as Hybrid Theory and Meteora. THe only good songs are Bleed it OUt, What I've Done, and Little Things Give you away

It's ok, I hate the part were chester sings and I start again and whatever pains me, well he sings something like that, I like when LP tries new things, but they should amaze me like they usually do, BREAKING THE HABBIT!

The video shows what mankind has done to the world.

Why

I am walking down the street taking in what I see. I can see a man busking with a guitar singing James Morison's song 'The pieces don't fit anymore'. It seems like he'll do anything for money. I can see a woman with a bin liner and a trolley with all her clothes. It's probably 99.9% chance that that's all she's got. It just pisses me off seeing people like that. I come home and start asking myself,..

Chorus
Why is there suffering in the world? I mean there is a lot of money in the world. There's people who've got nothing, people who are disabled, people who haven't got any limbs, people who are malnourished, people are at like any chance dieing. It just ain't right. There's people who are struggling to pay the rent or the mortgage or the council tax and you get celebrities who can afford like everything.

I turn on the telly and the 6'oclock news is on. George Alligier and Natasha Kaplinsky are sitting there watching the weather man do the weather. He says that it's like 27oC in April. Wow it's like global warming. I just ask myself ,,,,,,..
(CHORUS)

I just wanna ask myself why. Woah Yeah. I just wanna ask myself why. Woah Yeah. I just wanna ask myself why. Woah Yeah. W - H - Y, W - H - Y, W - H - Y, W - H - Y, W - H - Y.
(chorus x2)

Why the hell are we living in a world like this of poverty, depression, Global warming, Homelessness, the lack of Hospitals and all this sort of shit. It's such a sad world. Smile and it might never happen. Smile and bring a little joy to life. Just smile coz it's such a sad world. I just wanna ask myself why. Woah yeah. Woah yeah. Why???? (chorus)

I love this song! I'm just a little sad that this is the only song from the album which is good.. Meteora andHybrid Theori are much better, I think because they have moore good songs.

It is true.
but it's sad that people need to hear it before they realise what we are doing our home.
