Understand (Song for Chester... Linkin Park)

Song in tribute to Chester, lead singer for Linkin Park

You spend a lifetime pushing forward.
You tell yourself it's going to be okay.
But the darkness it just keeps taking over
And all you want is a freaking break.
But you wear a smile and walk with confidence
They never know the doubt you hide inside.
And you feel like you are falling
Wondering if you'll learn to fly.

The battle's lost
No victor found
I had enough
Of this wasted ground
And now you know
My secret seen
This pain was just too much for me
Understand just understand
Please

Don't tell me I'm selfish
Or that you understand my pain
It's different person to person
Nothing to lose nothing to gain
Don't tell me I'm blinded
Or that there is hope for another day
It's different person to person
There can be no other way

The battle's lost
No victor found
I had enough
Of this wasted ground
And now you know
My secret seen
This pain was just too much for me
Understand just understand
Please

Everyday is a new day
Everday you wake up and you fight
Everyday is a struggle
Just to stay alive
And everyday you wear a mask
And everday you barely get by
And everday is a struggle
Just to stay alive

Just to stay alive

The battle's lost
No victor found
I had enough
Of this wasted ground
And now you know
My secret seen
This pain was just too much for me
Understand just understand
Please

I'm drowning in the desert
Pain is all I see.
There's no way forward.
My secret now is seen.
There's no way forward.
My pain is all I see.
There's no way forward.
Can you understand that
This is what I need

The battle's lost
No victor found
I had enough
Of this wasted ground
And now you know
My secret seen
This pain was just too much for me
Understand this is what I need
Understand just understand

Just understand for me.
