"Sorry for Now"

[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 

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 


  

So 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 

[Chester rapping] 
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 pace 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 

[Mike and Chester] 
So I'll be sorry for now 
That I couldn't be around 
There are 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 
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
