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
