When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me

[*the below lyrics are said backwords*]
[*the only way to hear the words is if the song is played backwords*]

Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down

I've lied
To you
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind)
For sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

[*backwards talk*]

I've tried
Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Reverse phsycology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
there's nothing left but, to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why...
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (why)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

    General Comment:This is one of the best songs on the remix album and is linkin Parks best lyrical content they have put into a song. and this song is their best live song. This song is about a person who is in love with someone and he regrets staying with her and when he sees her he can only see as her as a mistake in his life:When I look into your eyes,
    There's nothing there to see.
    Nothing but my own mistakes,
    staring back at me.

    Conclusion: One of Linkin Parks best songs
    If they make a greatest hits album I think this song should be on it!!!!

    General Comment:Its about him braking up with his online girlfriend. Thats why the titles all weird, its written in his IM speak and emoticons. It happened after he wanted to meet her in real life, and she ended up really being a dude. He wanted to pursue the relationship still, but the girl/dude didn't want to, because he was an FBI agent. Very deep song.

    General Comment:Even my friends, who hate Linkin Park, absolutely love this song. It's one of their better tracks, and it is definitely my #2 favorite on Reanimation, next to KRWLING.

    It's a very deep song, and seriously needs to be used in a movie. At least make a music video, LP!

    General Comment:OMG!!!!!!!! have u guys ever heard of "READING BETWEEN THE LINES" you're all like just taking what they sing to make something of it! break down, with you, away, end! its called breaking up with ur lil' girlfriend!!! turn and face you, he broke up. this is prolly bout when he broke up with his childhood girlfriend. and he thinks it was a big mistake and thinks of it whenever he sees her, hence the line, "When i look into your eyes theres nothing left to see, nothing but my own mistakes, staring back at me"!!!!!!!! duh!! omg. i hope u all enjoyed my grammer and spelling
