Verse:

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
do I follow my instincts blindly?
do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams
and give in to 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
by 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
[by myself]

how do you think / I've lost so much
I'm so afraid / 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 I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
