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

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
(By myself)

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
