powerless

You hid your skeletons, when I had shown you mine


You woke the devil that I thought you left behind


I saw the evidence the crimson soaking through


Ten thousand promises


Ten thousand ways to lose

And you held It all


But you were careless to let it fall


You held it all


And I was by your side


Powerless


I watched you fall apart
and chased you to the end


I'm left an empty mess
that words can not defend

You'll never know what I became because of you


Ten thousand promises

Ten thousand ways to lose

And you held It all


But you were careless to let it fall

You held it all


And I was by your side


Powerless


Ohhh.....

And you held It all


But you were careless to let it fall

You held it all


And I was by your side


Powerless

Powerless

Powerless

You hid your skeletons, when I had shown you mine


我對你執手箴言，你卻未能如實相告（應電影情景，看過的應該知道亨利其實是吸血鬼）

You woke the devil that I thought you left behind


如今崩退的心魔已開始在你的心裏作慫

I saw the evidence the crimson soaking through


浸血的證詞亦浮出水面

Ten thousand promises


一萬個承諾背後

Ten thousand ways to lose

就有一萬個藉口

And you held It all


是你最終得到了這一切

But you were careless to let it fall


又是你將其翫忽葬送

You held it all


你已擁有了一切

And I was by your side


就這樣看着你失去

Powerless


而愛莫能助

I watched you fall apart


眼看你為此一步步崩潰離析


And chased you to the end


墜入地獄亦不放手

I'm left an empty mess


我所剩下的只有幾句空話

That words can not defend

而美妙殘影隨觸即滅


You'll never know what I became，because of you


因你看不出我為此做出的讓步

Ten thousand promises

萬句承諾

Ten thousand ways to lose

換來萬種搪塞


And you held It all


你擁有的這些

But you were careless to let it fall

你就這樣任它不經意溜走

You held it all


彼時你已坐擁所有

And I was by your side


而我只能眼看着這一切發生


Powerless


無力而為之

And you held It all


你擁有的這些

But you were careless to let it fall

你就這樣任它不經意溜走

You held it all


彼時你已坐擁所有

And I was by your side


而我只能眼看着這一切發生


Powerless


無力而為之

Ohhh.....

Powerless


無能為力

Powerless


無能為力

《Powerless》削弱了林肯公園傳統的説唱元素，以吉他為主的配樂讓歌曲充滿動感，搖滾味十足。該曲緩慢而悲傷，充滿温情，恢弘的配樂和主場查斯特細膩的聲線將無力的離別感演繹的分外憂傷。
