ROADS UNTRAVELED Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for paths left alone

'Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end
It's the worst kind of pain I've known

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Give up your heart, left broken
And let that mistake pass on
'Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost
And in time, you'll be glad it's gone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3: Chester Bennington]
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for sights unseen

May your love never end, and if you need a friend
There's a seat here alongside me
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
Whoa, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
