Stephen Carpenter - By_Myslf lyrics

Myself Myself 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 look around (It's too much to take in) I can't hold on (When I'm stretched so thin) I can't slow down (Watching everything spin) I can't look back (It's starting over again) 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 k**ed 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 look around (It's too much to take in) I can't hold on (When I'm stretched so thin) I can't slow down (Watching everything spin) I can't look back (It's starting over again) Don't you, Don't you, Don't you, Don't you Don't you (know) I can't tell you how to make it (go) No mater 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 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 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
