What do I do to ignore what’s behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go 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 none and live in loneliness?
Sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
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
(myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself
Chorus:
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 give into fate 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 (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
Chorus
How do you think, that I've lost so much
Always afraid, that 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
Repeat 2X:
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
Chorus 2X
