By myself
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts
blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad
thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I
try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by
phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't
hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost
within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt
again
By myself [myself]
[x2]
I ask why, but in my
mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[Chorus:]
I can’t hold
on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take
in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts
of failure sinking in
If I
Turn my back I’m defenseless
And to go
blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then
they’ll
Take from me ‘till everything is gone
If I let them go I’ll be
outdone
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the
questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the
answer
by myself [myself]
[x2]
I ask why, but in my
mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[Chorus]
How do you
think I’ve lost so much
I'm so afraid that I'm out of touch
How do you
expect... I will know what to do
When all I know Is what you tell me
to
[x2]
Don’t you know
I can’t tell you how to make it
go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can’t seem to convince myself
why
I’m stuck on the outside
[Chorus x2]
