What do I do to ignore them behind me?. Do I follow my instincts blindly?. Do I hide my pride behind 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 someone 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. Chorus:. 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 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. (chorus). 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 watching everything spin). With thoughts of failure sinking in. How do you think?. I've lost so much. I'm so afraid. And 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)? (2x). I can't tell you how to make it (go). No matter what it do how hard I (try). I can't seem to convince myself (why). I'm stuck on the outside. (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. (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
