Linkin Park - 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 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 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 |
