Lyrics of What I've Done by Linkin Park
verse
In this farewell
There′s no blood, there's no alibi
′Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
pre-chorus
So let mercy come and wash away
chorus
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
verse
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
pre-chorus
So let mercy come and wash away
chorus
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
bridge
For what I′ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving
chorus
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
outro
(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)
What I′ve done
(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)
Forgiving what I've done
(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na)
Writer(s): Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, Joseph Hahn, Chester Charles Bennington, Robert G. Bourdon, David Farrell
