I do not own Linkin Park's lyrics to "What I've done." The song is theirs alone. If you haven't heard the song I recommend listening to it… maybe even watch the Music Video as well.

What I've done

This is a song-fic from Soubi's perspective, and all of the thoughts he has jumbled in his head. This is my first song-fic so please be kind. I just heard this song and had to write to it.

In this farewell

What have I done, Ritsuka. I'm always lying to you.

There's no blood

I promised I wouldn't hurt you and now look at me.

There's no alibi

There is no reason for me to have done what I did to you.

Cause I've drawn regret

I'm sorry, so sorry! But how can you forgive me…

From the truth

How can you know now when I say,

Of a thousand lies

I love you?

So let mercy come

I can't expect you to forgive me now.

And wash away

I turn now, to go.

What I've done

Lies upon lies

I'll face myself

When I find out how to repent

To cross out what I've become

And cross out what I've done

Erase myself

Maybe I don't belong here

And let go of what I've done

Until I repent I won't come back.

Put to rest

Sleep tight, my Ritsuka

What you thought of me

And dream of things other than me

While I clean this slate

And when you awaken I will be gone

With hands of uncertainty

With no knowledge of when I'll be back.

So let mercy come

When you can, please forgive me.

And wash away

And when you do I will return.

What I've done

I leave you now Ritsuka

I'll face myself

The street is cold and lonely

Cross out what I've become

Eventually I will find myself again

Erase myself

Erase my past and find that

And let go of what I've done

Ritsuka has forgiven me.

For what I've done

I look at the house, it seems like yesterday.

I start again

I left many months ago

And whatever pain may come

I was lonely, I lied again but…

Today this ends

Today this end, no more lies.

I'm forgiving what I've done

I'm forgiving myself for what I've done.

I'll face myself

I'll face Ritsuka

To cross out what I've become

I have to know if he's forgiven me

Erase myself

I cry when I see him so grown

And let go of what I've done.

I turn, he mustn't see me, too late, and we embrace.
