By Myself

[00:12.09]What do I do
[00:12.90]to ignore them behind me
[00:14.62]Do I follow my instincts blindly
[00:16.88]Do I hide my pride
[00:18.26]from these bad dreams
[00:19.30]And give in to sad thoughts
[00:20.73]that are maddening
[00:21.60]Do I sit here
[00:22.68]and try to stand it
[00:23.79]Or do I try to
[00:24.92]catch them red-handed
[00:26.32]Do I trust some
[00:27.12]and get fooled by phoniness
[00:28.47]Or do I trust nobody
[00:29.54]and live in loneliness
[00:30.87]Because I can't hold on
[00:32.13]when I'm stretched so thin
[00:33.44]I make the right moves
[00:34.49]but I'm lost within
[00:35.71]I put on my daily facade
[00:37.27]but then
[00:38.04]I just end up getting hurt again
[00:40.13]By myself
[00:40.97]myself
[00:41.97]I ask why
[00:42.68]but in my mind I find
[00:43.99]I can't rely on myself
[00:45.68]myself
[00:46.58]I ask why
[00:47.44]but in my mind I find
[00:48.73]I can't rely on myself
[00:50.59]I can't hold on
[00:52.33]To what I want
[00:53.10]when I'm stretched so thin
[00:55.12]It's all too much to take in
[00:59.79]I can't hold on
[01:01.62]To anything watching everything spin
[01:04.35]With thoughts of failure sinking in
[01:09.35]If I turn my back I'm defenseless
[01:11.65]And to go blindly seems senseless
[01:13.90]If I hide my pride
[01:15.02]and let it all go on
[01:16.26]then they'll take from me
[01:17.45]till everything is gone
[01:18.63]If I let them go
[01:19.82]I'll be outdone
[01:20.83]But if I try to catch them
[01:22.24]I'll be outrun
[01:23.33]If I'm killed by the questions
[01:24.63]like a cancer
[01:25.45]Then I'll be buried
[01:26.27]in the silence of the answer
[01:27.66]By myself
[01:28.58]myself
[01:29.48]I ask why
[01:30.42]but in my mind I find
[01:31.79]I can't rely on myself
[01:33.61]myself
[01:34.32]I ask why

[01:49.36]To anything watching everything spin
[01:52.06]With thoughts of failure sinking in
[01:56.72]How do you think
[01:58.72]I've lost so much
[02:01.20]I'm so afraid
[02:03.59]I'm out of touch
[02:06.14]How do you expect
[02:07.99]I will know what to do
[02:10.56]When all I know
[02:12.53]is what you tell me to
[02:14.94]Don't you know
[02:15.87]I can't tell you
[02:16.88]how to make it go
[02:18.14]No matter what I do
[02:19.40]how hard I try
[02:20.69]I can't seem to convince myself why
[02:22.76]I'm stuck on the outside
[02:24.18]Don't you know
[02:25.22]I can't tell you
[02:26.24]how to make it go
