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 into 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 move 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*
**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 defenceless
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 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)
*Bridge*
**Chorus**
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 see to convince myself
I’m stuck on the outside [x2]
