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 façade but then

I just end up getting hurt again

By myself (Myself)

Pre chorus:

I ask why, but in my mind

I find I can't rely on myself

Chorus:

I cant look around

(its to much to take in)

I cant hold back

(when im stretched so thin)

I cant slow down

(watching everything spin)

I cant 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 '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

(By myself)

Pre chorus

Chorus

Dont You(x30)

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.(x5)
