What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams 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 façade facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

[Chorus:]
By myself [myself]

[x2]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't can’t rely on myself

[Chorus:]
I can't can’t hold on
To what I want when I'm I’m stretched so thin
It'sIt’s all too much to take in
I can't can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking inenter added
If I turn
Turn my back I'm I’m defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they’ll
Then they'll takeTake from me 'til ‘till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll I’ll be outrun
If I'm I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer
(by myself)by myself [myself]

[x2]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself

[Chorus]

How do you think I've I’ve lost so much
I'm so afraid that I'm out of touch
How do you expect expect... I will know what to do
When all I know is Is what you tell me to
Don't
[x2]
Don’t you know
I can't can’t tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't can’t seem to convince myself why
I'mI’m stuck on the outside

[Chorus x2]
