Faint
Linkin Park · 2003
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Time won't heal this damage anymore
- Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored
- I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
- Because you don't understand I do what I can
Sing it again — final chorus
- Time won't heal this damage anymore
- Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored
- No, hear me out now
- You're gonna listen to me like it or not
