Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happening It's like nothing I could do would distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again Because from the infinite words I could say I put all the pain you gave to me on display But didn't realize, instead of setting it free I took what I hated and made it a part of me
It never goes away, never goes away
And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear I can't separate myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
Hearing your name the memories come back again I remember when it started happening I'd see you in every thought I had and then The thoughts slowly found words attached to them And I knew as they escaped away I was committing' myself to them and every day I regret saying those things because now I see That I took what I hated and made it a part of me
It never goes away, never goes away
And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear I can't separate myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
It never goes away, it never goes away It never goes away, it never goes away
Get away from me Give me my space back, you got to just go Everything comes down to memories of you I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know I've let you go So get away from me Give me my space back, you got to just go Everything comes down to memories of you I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know I've let you go
And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear I can't separate myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you I've let myself become you, I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
This song originally had rapping in the verses, then was rewritten with singing verses during the process at NRG. The singing parts remained until the recording process was finished. Then, while mixing the album, Brad, Mike, Chester and Don swapped the rap verses back in, deciding that the rapping made the song more interesting. The rest of the band didn't hear the final version of the song until the entire album was complete.
