What I’ve DoneLinkin’ Park

In this farewellThere’s no bloodThere’s no alibiCause I’ve drawn regretFrom the truthOf a thousand lies

So let mercy comeAnd wash away

What I’ve doneI’ll face myselfTo cross out what I’ve becomeErase myselfAnd let go of what I’ve done

Put to restWhat you thought of meWhile I clean this slateWith the handsOf uncertainty

So let mercy comeAnd wash away

What I’ve doneI’ll face myselfTo cross out what I’ve becomeErase myselfAnd let go of what I’ve done

For what I’ve doneI start againAnd whatever pain may comeToday this endsI’m forgiving what I’ve done

I’ll face myselfTo cross out what I’ve becomeErase myselfAnd let go of what I’ve done
