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 façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)

Pre chorus:
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
