What do I do to ignore what's behind me
Do I follow my fate and escape blindly
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give into sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I let it go and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them redhanded
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live life in lonliness
The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up gettin' 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 watchin' everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride
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 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 watchin' everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think
That I've lost so much
I'm always afraid
That I'm out of touch
How do you expect
That 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
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
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 watchin' everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
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
With thoughts of failure from with in
