By Myself

Linkin Park - By 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

[01:32.30]By myself (myself)

[01:34.23]I ask why, but in my mind I find

[01:36.38]I can\'t rely on myself (myself)

[01:38.50]I ask why, but in my mind I find

[01:40.70]I can\'t rely on myself

[03:21.84][02:28.36][01:42.28]I can\'t hold on

[03:23.74][02:30.29][01:46.46]To what I want when I\'m stretched so thin

[03:25.95][02:32.56][01:50.81]It\'s all too much to take in

[03:31.35][03:39.51][02:36.70][01:50.83]I can\'t hold on

[03:33.13][03:41.71][02:39.37][01:52.84]To anything watching everything spin

[03:35.10][03:44.04][02:41.00][01:54.87]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

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

thank you god very much
