- What I've Done LyricsSongwriters: Bennington, Chester; Farrell, Dave;
Shinoda, Mike; Delson, Brad; Hahn, Joseph; Bourdon,
Robert;
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I?ll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

Reminds me of a promise I made to myself long ago to change, and learn from my mistakes took a long time but I finally began to follow the right path. It won't be easy but I won't give up ever again.
