According to the From The Inside Songfacts, Linkin Park bass player Phoenix came up with the original guitar idea for this song while recording with Mike Shinoda in the back of the tour bus during summer 2002.

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] I don't know who to trust, no surprise Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda] Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between And how trying to put my trust in you Just takes so much out of me [Chorus: Chester Bennington] (I) Take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you [Verse 2: Chester & Mike Shinoda] Tension is building inside, steadily Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda] Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between And how trying to put my trust in you Just takes so much out of me [Chorus: Chester Bennington] (I) Take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you [Bridge: Chester Bennington] I won't waste myself on you You You Waste myself on you You You [Chorus: Chester Bennington] I'll take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you Everything from the inside And just throw it all away 'Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you You You
