Roads Untraveled

I'm going through a Linkin Park kick right now.  I got their most recent cd, and even though I haven't quite made it past track number 7..i love the cd.  3 was over played, then 2 was, then 1 was, then 6 was LOL i get obsessed with a song and listen to it over and over, then i decide to try another song out.  one day I will be able to say, yeah, i love the whole cd!

One of the songs on there though, not my favorite yet, its a little too slow for LP.  BUT.  the words.  the words.  oh those words.

Weep not for roads untraveled 

Weep not for paths left alone 

Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end 

It's the worst kind of pain I've known 

Give up your heart left broken. 

And let that mistake pass on 

Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost 

And in time you'll be glad it's gone. 

(Whoa) x 4 

(Whoa) x2 

Weep not for roads untraveled 

Weep not for sights unseen 

May your love never end and if you need a friend, 

There's a seat here alongside me. 

(Whoa) x4 

The words give me the chills.  Late at night, or during that time of the month, or when the mood just has you thinking about things.   and where he says "Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost, and in time, you'll be glad it's gone".   *chills*  even when he sings it.. its haunting.  painful.  its slow, and it goes  "..cause the love...that you lost...wasn't worth...what it cost.."  it pauses, and you can just feel it.  I can't explain it.  

Every song on that cd just about, speaks to me.  Track one is my theme song.  Love it.

(yeah) (yo)

You were that foundation

Never gonna be another one, no.

I followed, so taken

So conditioned I could never let go

Then sorrow, then sickness

Then the shock when you flip it on me

So hollow, so vicious

So afraid I couldn't let myself see

That I could never be held

Back or up no, I'll hold myself

Check the rep, yep you know mine well

Forget the rest let them know my hell

There and back yet my soul ain't sell

Kept respect up,the best they fell,

Let the rest be the tale they tell

That I was there saying

In these promises broken

Deep below

Each word gets lost in the echo

So one last lie I can see through

This time I finally let you

Go, go, go.

Test my will, test my heart

Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up

Y'all go hard, I go smart

How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?

I've seen that frustration

Been crossed and lost and told "No"

And I've come back unshaken

Let down and lived and let go

So you can let it be known

I don't hold back, I hold my own

I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned

I can't C-flat / it ain't my tone

I can't fall back, I came too far

Hold myself up and love my scars

Let the bells ring wherever they are

'Cause I was there saying...

In these promises broken

Deep below

Each word gets lost in the echo

So one last lie I can see through

This time I finally let you go!!!

Go, go, go.

No, you can tell 'em all now

I don't back up, I don't back down

I don't fold up, and I don't bow

I don't roll over, don't know how

I don't care where the enemies are

Can't be stopped, all I know; go hard

Won't forget how I got this far

For every time saying

In these promises broken

Deep below

Each word gets lost in the echo

So one last lie I can see through

This time I finally let you

Go, go, go. (Go, go, go)

Go. go, go. (Go, go, go)
