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 dreamsAnd 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 thinI make the right moves but I'm lost withinI put on my daily façade but thenI just end up getting hurt again
by myself [myself]I ask why, but in my mindI find I can't rely on myself
[myself]I ask why, but in my mindI find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold onTo what I want when I'm stretched so thinIt's all too much to take inI can't hold onTo anything watching everything spinWith thoughts of failure sinking in
If ITurn my back I'm defenselessAnd to go blindly seems senselessIf I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they'llTake from me 'till everything is goneIf I let them go I'll be outdoneBut if I try to catch them I'll be outrunIf I'm killed by the questions like a cancerThen I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

How do you think / I've lost so muchI'm so afraid / I'm out of touchHow do you expect / I will know what to doWhen all I know / Is what you tell me toDon'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
