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 gi have 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 li have in loneliness?
Because I can not hold on when Imstretched so thin
I make the right moves but Imlost 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 not rely on myself

I can not hold on
To what I want when Imstretched so thin
Its all too much to take in
I can not hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back Imdefenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then theyll take from me ti will everything is gone
If I let them go I will be outdone
But if I try to catch them I will be outrun
If Imkilled by the questions like a cancer
Then I will be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)

Pre chorus
Chorus

How do you think I have lost so much
Imso afraid, Imout of touch
How do you expect I wi will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Dont you know
I can not tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can not seem to convince myself why
Imstuck on the outside

Chorus (2x)
