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 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 fa�ade 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 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

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
