Lyrics
0:10What do I do to ignore them behind me
0:12Do I follow my instincts blindly
0:14Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
0:17And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
0:19Do I sit here and try to stand it
0:21Or do I try to catch them red-handed
0:23Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
0:26Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness
0:29Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
0:31I make the right moves but I'm lost within
0:33I put on my daily facade but then
0:35I just end up getting hurt again
0:38By myself (myself)
0:40I ask why but in my mind I find
0:42I can't rely on myself (myself)
0:44I ask why but in my mind I find
0:46I can't rely on myself
0:48I can't hold on
0:50To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
0:52It's all too much to take in
0:57I can't hold on
1:00To anything watching everything spin
1:01With thoughts of failure sinking in
1:07If I Turn my back I'm defenseless
1:09And to go blindly seems senseless
1:11If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
1:14Take from me till everything is gone
1:16If I let them go I'll be outdone
1:18But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
1:20If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
1:22Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
1:25By myself (myself)
1:27I ask why but in my mind I find
1:29I can't rely on myself (myself)
1:31I ask why but in my mind I find
1:34I can't rely on myself
1:35I can't hold on
1:38To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
1:40It's all too much to take in
1:45I can't hold on
1:47To anything watching everything spin
1:49With thoughts of failure sinking in
1:55How do you think I've lost so much
1:59I'm so afraid I'm out of touch
2:03How do you expect I will know what to do
2:08When all I know is what you tell me to
2:12Don't you know
2:14I can't tell you how to make it go
2:16No matter what I do how hard I try
2:18I can't seem to convince myself why
2:20I'm stuck on the outside
2:21Don't you know
2:23I can't tell you how to make it go
2:25No matter what I do how hard I try
2:27I can't seem to convince myself why
2:30I'm stuck on the outside
2:32I can't hold on
2:34To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
2:36It's all too much to take in
2:41I can't hold on
2:43To anything watching everything spin
2:45With thoughts of failure sinking in
2:50I can't hold on
2:52To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
2:55It's all too much to take in
2:59I can't hold on
3:02To anything watching everything spin
3:04With thoughts of failure sinking in
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 (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 (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 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 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 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 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
