mike shinoda - what the words meant lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the first time i heard it
didn’t know what it was
i listened to it over and over
i couldn’t get enough
i knew every syllable
and the sp-ce in between
and i wondered
what my own song would be

[chorus]
i thought i understood what the words meant
i thought i knew the meaning behind
i memorized the sounds and the rhythms
and wondered about the stories inside
i thought i understood what the words meant
i thought that they were written for me
a message spelled out in a language
that only those who’ve been there
been there can read

[verse 2]
the first time i heard it
didn’t know what it was
it was foreign and angry and brilliant
i couldn’t get enough
but the story behind it
you revealed it to me
and i realized
you had lived through what i’d never seen

[chorus]
i never understood what the words meant
i never knew the meaning behind
i memorized the sounds and the rhythms
but didn’t know the stories inside
i never understood what the words meant
the words were never written for me
a message spelled out in a language
that only those who’ve been there
been there can read

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
i wish i didn’t know what the words meant
or understand the meaning behind
i memorized the sounds and the rhythms
and now i know the stories inside
i wish i didn’t know what the words meant
that they were never written for me
a message spelled out in a language
that only those who’ve been there
been there can read

[outro]
been there
been there can read
been there
been there can read
