[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
You're too ignorant to fail, I can't look you in the eye
And I can't even tell if you've been tellin' me a lie
Every time you start it's like the fourth day of July
Reckless like you're makin' rockets just to blow up in the sky
Feelin' like it's chemical, all under my skin like it's medical
Stuck on repetitions that are only hypothetical
Actin' like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can't seem to let it go

[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Linkin Park except Emily]
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin' 'til it's gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I'm too gullible to win, I don't have a way to choose
Grew up thinkin' tryin' meant you never really lose
Didn't put the powder in the keg, and when it blew
I was sittin' on the dynamite for you to light the fuse
Ooh, lookin' like a criminal, sneakin' in the dark, you're invisible
Hidden, you're wrapped around my neck just like a tentacle
Actin' like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can't seem to let it go

[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Linkin Park except Emily]
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin' 'til it's gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Somethin' in my head feels broken
I'm the gas from a burner left open
I'm a tightrope held up by a clothespin
Holdin' out, but the pressure keeps growin'
Wanna go to the light and not the shadow
But the branch isn't shiny as the arrow
You don't ever find a way around a battle
You will always choose
Just to watch it burn
Just to watch it burn

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong, Linkin Park except Emily, All]
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin' 'til it's gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
