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
