Intro:
E G#m (4x) E
Verses 1:
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 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
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
Verses 2:
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)
Bridge:
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)
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
Don't you (know)
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)
