[Intro: Mos Def]
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
I've seen her smiling
The sunlight shining on her now
She couldn't stay here
She knows you won't let her down

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You know she couldn't stay here with you
You know she had to go
Even though she couldn't stay here with you
You know you're not alone

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Mos Def]
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
I've seen her shining
The sunlight's crying for her now
She wouldn't stay here
She knows you won't let her down

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You know she couldn't stay here with you
You know she had to go
Even though she couldn't stay here with you
You know you're not alone

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Mos Def]
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)

[Bridge: Mos Def]
Won't be long 'til everybody knows
Won't be long 'til everybody knows
Won't be long 'til everybody knows
Won't be long 'til everybody knows

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Mos Def]
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)

[Outro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
No matter what you think you did wrong
You know she couldn't stay here with you
She knew she had to go all along
You know she had to go
No matter what you think you did wrong
You know she couldn't stay here with you
She knew she had to go all along
You know she had to go
No matter what you think you did wrong
You know she couldn't stay here with you
She knew she had to go all along
You know she had to go
No matter what you think you did wrong
You know she couldn't stay here with you
She knew she had to go all along
You know she had to go
No matter what you think you did wrong
You know she couldn't stay here with you
She knew she had to go all along
You know she had to go
No matter what you think you did wrong
You know she couldn't stay here with you

Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
