By myself
What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my instinct 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 none and live life in loneliness?
'Cause I can't hold on and i'm stretch so tin..
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)
I ask why, but in my mind I find.
I can't rely on myself (myself).
I ask why, but in my mind I find.
I can't 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 defenseless.
And to give in to faith 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.

How do you think I've lost so much.
I'm so afraid, 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.
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.
