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 none and live in loneliness?

Because I can't hold on when I'm streached 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]



[x2]

I ask why, but in my mind

I find I cant rely on myself



[Chorus:]

I cant hold on

To what I want when Im stretched so thin

Its all too much to take in

I cant hold on

To anything watching everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in



If I

Turn my back Im defenseless

And to go blindly seems senseless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on then theyll

Take from me till everything is gone

If I let them go Ill be outdone

But if I try to catch them Ill be outrun

If Im killed by the questions like a cancer

Then Ill be buried in the silence of the answer

by myself [myself]



[x2]

I ask why, but in my mind

I find I cant rely on myself



[Chorus]



How do you think Ive lost so much

I'm so afraid that 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



[x2]

Dont you know

I cant tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do, how hard I try

I cant seem to convince myself why

Im stuck on the outside



[Chorus x2]
