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 façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)
Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself Chorus:
I cant look around
Its too much to take in
I cant hold on
When im strech so thin
I cant slow down
watching everything spin
I cant look past
its starting over again 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) Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself Chorus:
I cant look around
Its too much to take in
I cant hold on
When im strech so thin
I cant slow down
watching everything spin
I cant look past
its starting over again Dont you know
I cant tell you how to make it go
No mater what I do how hard I try
I cant seem to convince myself why
Im stuck on the outside
