Linkin Park, “Misplaced” Lyrics (through AZLyrics)

Only a scar someplace down within me
One thing I cannot restore
Although it is going to at all times be
I faux it is not there (That is the way it really feel)
I am trapped in yesterday (That is how will probably be)
The place the ache is all I do know (That is all I do know)

And I am going to by no means break free (Cannot break away)
‘Trigger after I’m alone

I am misplaced in these reminiscences
Residing behind my very own phantasm
Misplaced all my dignity
Residing inside my very own confusion

However I am drained
I’ll at all times be afraid
Of the injury I’ve obtained
Damaged guarantees they made
And the way blindly I believed (That is all I do know)

And I am going to by no means break free (Cannot break away)
‘Trigger after I’m alone

I am misplaced in these reminiscences
Residing behind my very own phantasm
Misplaced all my dignity
Residing inside my very own confusion

I attempt to preserve this ache inside
However I’ll by no means be alright
I attempt to preserve this ache inside
However I’ll by no means be alright
I attempt to preserve this ache inside (I am misplaced)
However I’ll by no means be alright
I attempt to preserve this ache inside (I am misplaced)
However I’ll by no means be alright

I am misplaced in these reminiscences
Residing behind my very own phantasm
Misplaced all my dignity
Residing inside my very own confusion
