Lyrics
|
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?
|
'Cause 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)
|
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 'til everything is gone
|
If I let them go, I'll be outdone
|
But if I try to catch 'em, 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 (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 (myself)
|
