verse 1: Mike Shinoda Watching the wings cut through the clouds Watching the raindrops blinking red and white Thinking of you back on the ground That willful fire burning in your eyes I only halfway apologize And I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around Sometimes things refuse To go the way we planned Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand You will understand verse 2: Mike After a while you may forget But just in case the memories cross your mind You couldn't know this when I left Under the fire of your angry eyes I never wanted to say goodbye And I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around Sometimes things refuse To go the way we planned Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand You will understand Bridge: Chester Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up Tried to call home but nobody could wake up Switch your time zones can't pick the bass up I just passed out by the time you wake up Best things come to those who wait And it's time to get pumped on any road you take Don't ever have a problem make no mistake I can't wait to come back when I'm going away Outro: Mike & (Chester) And I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around Sometimes things refuse To go the way we planned Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There are things we have to do that we can't stand (Things we have to do that we can't stand) Oh I'll be sorry for now That I couldn't be around There will be a day That you will understand You will understand You will understand You will understand
