Hope ya liked it.
You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose
(Chorus)
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end.
I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose
(Chorus) (x2)
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
Powerless (x2)

[@ScrewedForTheCentury]

When the guitar and vocals kick back in at 3:05 and you are listening to it with headphones it is such a powerful moment. I think this is one of the most underrated songs LP have released.

[@scottthompson3670]

ScrewedForTheCentury I think it's one of the most underrated songs in a long time

[@ben_angel]

Agreed

[@RowshanAraMukta]

Even without headphones
Amazing..

[@DougVoght]

I'm even using my Moto e5 Play for this and I can agree that even without headphones it is still awesome

[@adesh7769]

I started liking Linkin Park because of this song ....but after searching all songs ...then I realized ...Chester is out of the world ....so soothing and powerful voice 😍....

[@claudio4040]

History prefers legends
Remembers the battles
And forget the darkness

[@gzanime460]

History prefers legends to men
it prefers nobility to brutality
Soaring speeches to quite deeds
History remembers the battle but forgets the blood
However history chooses to remember me if it remembers me at all it shall only be a fraction of the truth

[@rckmisfits26]

+SamTheDvider that is a very good way of looking at it.....when people see our gravestone it doesn't tell the good or the bad it shows the date you were born and the date you died

[@unknownillusion9221]

rckmisfits26 It doesn't tell our stories.

[@nejcl3152]

[@sierranoplis]

Clorox Bleach finally some one who likes Heavy...

[@YennyKartika]

Blasphemic Kiss - he's not gone, he's moved to paradise and lived in peace. No more pain and tears.

[@richardsamuel6690]

The lyrics couldn't get more real for sure..

[@Myrkul-D]

To this day I am still finding songs from Linkin Park. Somehow this was never recommended towards me despite listening to them for so long now. Thank you.

[@sreyasubramanyam9152]

linkin park is gold

[@gautamtamudia464]

[@aiden6106]

[@jeffwhitmer650]

I know how you feel it's sad man.

[@oushame]

That chorus is just badass.

[@vocareragnum31]

just got cheated and this song summarized all my feelings!!! powerless !!! but life goes on! :)

[@elysianpattier_]

exactly. hope you're feeling better now

[@evanlanger4808]

I'm left with emptynees that words can't defend

[@MelzyB97]

Very relatable

[@manemjeff7686]

I got dumped because we were in a long distance thing (a few hours apart) and she was a coward to fight for us, even though I gave my best and tried to meet every month the latest, but denied my wishes to come. She held it all and was careless to let it fall. I was fading powerless, time to move on...

[@theflyinglynx485]

everyone with brain that can think about meaning of life and their future just cant hate LP cuz they have the best songs to explain that feeling....just my opinion.

[@unhygenicweeaboo933]

LynxIsMyName are... Are you a kaijit?

One of my favorite LP song

[@sam47511]

I battled with depression for 4 years and this song reminded me of how it made everyone around me feel as they were powerless at the time.

[@angeltheglader5990]

This is one of the best songs I've heard from Chester so far, including Castle Of Glass and Battle Symphony

[@marin4904]

#RIPCHESTERBENNINGTON

[@awesomejess]

I love this song so much 😍
I listened it for 6 times again and again
So I decided to buy the song and now I can listen it whenever I want

[@aldobalderrama4600]

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter brought me here. Haven't watched this movie since 2012, so had to watch it twice today lol love this movie 👏

[@mujakina5964]

This song is so Powerful it makes me want to scream! ( Which I did😅... ) Idk this song just makes me so Happy I could make these weird sound effects. ( Which I did also... ) We LOVE you and your Band Chester!😻😅💗🎵🎼🎶🎧🎤

[@Greyshadow_17]

My favorite verse is "I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end. I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend. You'll never know what I became because of you, ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose." Reminds me of a girl who caused me so much pain, but that pain lead to me changing myself for the better.

[@NSRailz1]

same!!

[@verakathrynsmith3508]

​@@NSRailz1The line that got me was,"I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through".
I used to S.I.and I did my best to hide it, but my husband always found out.
I see this song as my husband's perspective on my mental illness and S.I.
It was quite a wild ride.
And those first few opening lines -yeah.BOOM!! Hit me hard.

[@young_gunz1234]

This song is awesome

[@doriasaidi3318]

i freaking love this song

[@uditasingh1108]

linkin park's songs are like powerful drug from which I am addicted to

[@pranavpappu9571]

I literally feel so sad after listening to this song because Linkin Park is my favourite band and Chester was my hero but I feel so sad that he was suffering from depression. It has been 5-6 months but WE MISS YOU CHESTER😩❤️😔!!!

[@juliantrajano8848]

2020 but still listening Linkinpark♥️

[@tjeezy1859]

[@maurice_mores]

[@ReD_Masaru]

listening to this after hearing the news about Chester :(

[@djdonnamsp7495]

I love this song so much! I find this beautiful :p

[@ClairAussieBear]

I think that love makes us the most powerless of all. Though living without the chance of any love is useless!!

[@othmantayach9449]

This song makes want to cry because it express almost exactly some of the bad things that Chester suffered from it so sad I which I could help

[@malachibenford3296]

Badass song! :)

[@teenpoolthesonofdeadpool8922]

I love this song

[@americasotelo7701]

me too

[@DougVoght]

I am even able to notice that this song alternates between 3 beats per measure and 4 beats per measure as well

[@comander164]

I remember listening to this with my brother about 7 or 8 years ago, it hasn't changed a bit

[@nintendopro0391]

7 years ago, this comment was made + 7/8 years would have been 14/15 years ago. This song was released in 2012.

[@rokitj]

You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
Powerless
Powerless
Powerless
