What do I do to ingore 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 lonliness?
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 back
(When I'm stretched so thin)
I can't slow down
(Watching everything spin)
I can't look back
(Starting over again)

If I turn my back I'm defenceless
And to go blindly seems senceless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'til 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

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 look around
(It's too much to take in)
I can't hold back
(When I'm stretched so thin)
I can't slow down
(Watching everything spin)
I can't look back

Don't you [being said repeaditly in the backround]
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
