Memories consume
기억들은 사라져가
Like opening the wound
마치 벌어진 상처 처럼
I'm picking me apart again
난 다시 내자신을 추스려
You all assume
너도 알고 있겠지
I'm safe here in my room
난 여기 내 방에서 안전해
[unless I try to start again]
내가 다시 시작하려 하기전까진

I don't want to be the one
난 그런 사람이 되고 싶지 않아
The battles always choose
전쟁은 늘 선택되지
'Cause inside I realize
왜냐면 내 속에서 난
That I'm the one confused
내가 혼란스러워 하는걸 알고 있으니까

I don't know what's worth fighting for
난 대체 무엇을 위해 싸워야 하는지 모르겠어
Or why I have to scream
혹은 내가 왜 소리를 질러야 하는지도 모르겠어
I don't know why I instigate
난 내가 왜 이것을 자초했는지 모르겠어
And say what I don't mean
그리고 내가 뜻하지 않은 말을 왜 했는지 모르겠어
I don't know how I got this way
내가 왜 이렇게 되었는지 모르겠어
I know it's not alright
단지 이것이 옳지 않다는것만 알 뿐이야
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight
그래서 난 오늘 마약을 끊을꺼야

Clutching my cure
나의 치료를 꼭 붙잡고
I tightly lock the door
난 방문을 굳게 닫았어
I try to catch my breath again
다시 숨을 내쉬려 노력하고 있어
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
난 그 어느때 보다 더 상처를 받았지
I had no options left again
여기 남는것밖에 방도가 없어

I'll paint it on the walls
난 벽들에 그려 놓을꺼야
'Cause I'm the one at fault
왜냐면 내 잘못이니까
I'll never fight again
난 다시는 싸우지 않을꺼야
And this is how it ends
그리고 이것이 끝이야

I don't know what's worth fighting for
난 대체 무엇을 위해 싸워야 하는지 모르겠어
Or why I have to scream
혹은 내가 왜 소리를 질러야 하는지도 모르겠어
But Now I have some clarity
하지만 지금 난 조금은 명확한것 같아
To show you what I mean
너에게도 그걸 보여주고 싶어
I don't know how I got this way
내가 어떻게 이런 결론을 내렸는지는 모르겠지만
I'll never be alright
난 다시는 괜찮아 지지 않을꺼야
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
그래서 난 오늘 마약을 끊을꺼야..

"Breaking the Habit" is an electronica influenced song by the nu metal band Linkin Park, from their 2003 album Meteora. It was released as the sixth and final single from the album in 2004. It became the fifth consecutive single from Meteora to reach #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, a feat unmatched by any other artist in the history of that chart. It was also the second single from the album to reach #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It was a minor pop hit, peaking at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Breaking the Habit features many electronics, piano and guitar. There are no distorted guitar riffs, and it is the first single released by Linkin Park to include no vocals from Mike Shinoda.

A common misconception about this song is that it was written by lead singer Chester Bennington, when in fact, band member Mike Shinoda was the original writer. The song was based on a close friend's drug addiction. It is a common idea that it was written about Bennington due to his extended drug abuse issues, although Shinoda began writing the song before he met Bennington. The rumour has its roots in Bennington's reluctance to play the song at early live shows, because he was able to relate to it so closely.
