Lyrics
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Linkin Park - Valentine's Day Lyrics & Meanings
Valentine's Day Lyrics & Meanings: My insides all turned to ash, so slow / And blew away as I collapsed, so cold / A black wind took them away from sight / And held the darkness over day that night / / And the clouds above move closer / Looking so dissatisfied / But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing / / I used to be my own protection, but not now / Cause my path has lost direction somehow / A black wind took you away from sight / And held the darkness over day that night / / And the clouds above move closer / Looking so dissatisfied / And the ground below grew colder / As they put you down inside / But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing / / So now you're gone / And I was wrong / I never knew what it was like / To be alone / / On a Valentine's Day
