You’re too ignorant to fail, I can’t look you in the eye
And I can’t even tell if you’ve been telling me a lie
Every time you start it’s like the 4th day of July
Reckless like you’re making rockets just to blow up in the sky
Feeling like it’s chemical
All under my skin, like it’s medical
Stuck on repetitions that are only hypothetical
Acting like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can’t seem to let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong, ?]
Cut the bridge we’re on (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
Going ’til it’s gone (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
Sabotage it all just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we’re on (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I’m too gullible to win, didn’t have a way to choose
Grew up thinking trying meant you never really lose
Didn’t put the powder in the keg and when it blew
I was sitting in the dynamite for you to light the fuse
Ooh, looking like a criminal
Sneaking in the dark, you’re invisible
Hidden, you’re wrapped around my neck just like a tentacle
Acting like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can’t seem to let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong, ?]
Cut the bridge we’re on (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
Going ’til it’s gone (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
Sabotage it all just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we’re on (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Something in my head feels broken
I’m the gas from a burner left open
I’m a tightrope held up by a clothes pin
Holding out but the pressure keeps growing
Wanna go to the light and not the shadow
But the branch isn’t shiny as the arrow
You don’t ever find a way around a battle
You will always choose just to watch it burn, just to watch it burn
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong, ?]
Cut the bridge we’re on (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
Going ’til it’s gone (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
Sabotage it all just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we’re on (Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down)
[Outro: ?]
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
