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 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 facade, 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 look around, It’s too much to take in, I can’t hold back, When I’m stretched so thin, I can’t slow down, Watching everything spin, I can’t look back, 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 until 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, 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 look around, It’s too much to take in, I can’t hold back, When I’m stretched so thin, I can’t slow down, Watching everything spin, I can’t look back, Starting over again,
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, (7x)
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, (5x)
