By Myself Lyrics

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 life in lonliness

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 faciade but then

I just end up getting hurt again by myself

Myself

I ask why

Myself

I cant rely on myself

Myself

I ask why

But in my mind I find

I cant rely on myself

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 senseless

And to blindly seem defenseless

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 outrun

But if I try to catch them I'll be outdone

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself

Myself

I ask why

Myself

I can't rely on myself

Myself

I ask why

But in my mind I find

I can't rely on myself

In my mind I find

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

How do you think

I’ve lost so much

I’m so afraid (echo fade)

I’m out of touch

How do you expect (expect)

I will know what to do

When all I know is what you tell me to

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

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

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

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
