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 fa?ade 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
chorus:
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
