Hybrid Theory - By Myself lyrics
rate meWhat do I do to ignore them behind me?<br />
Do I follow my instincts blindly?<br />
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams<br />
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?<br />
<br />
Do I sit here and try to stand it<br />
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?<br />
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness<br />
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?<br />
<br />
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin<br />
I make the right moves but I'm lost within<br />
I put on my daily facade but then<br />
I just end up getting hurt again by myself, myself<br />
<br />
I ask why, but in my mind I find<br />
I can't rely on myself<br />
I ask why, but in my mind I find<br />
I can't rely on myself<br />
<br />
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin<br />
It's all too much to take in<br />
I can't hold on to anything watching everything spin<br />
With thoughts of failure sinking in<br />
<br />
If I turn my back I'm defenseless<br />
And to go blindly seems senseless<br />
If I hide my pride and let it all go on<br />
Then they'll take from me till everything is gone<br />
<br />
If I let them go I'll be outdone<br />
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun<br />
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer<br />
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself<br />
<br />
I ask why, but in my mind I find<br />
I can't rely on myself<br />
I ask why, but in my mind I find<br />
I can't rely on myself<br />
<br />
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin<br />
It's all too much to take in<br />
I can't hold on to anything watching everything spin<br />
With thoughts of failure sinking in<br />
<br />
How do you think I've lost so much<br />
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch<br />
How do you expect I will know what to do<br />
When all I know is what you tell me to<br />
<br />
Don't you know, I can't tell you how to make it go<br />
No matter what I do, how hard I try<br />
I can't seem to convince myself why<br />
I'm stuck on the outside<br />
<br />
Don't you know, I can't tell you how to make it go<br />
No matter what I do, how hard I try<br />
I can't seem to convince myself why<br />
I'm stuck on the outside<br />
<br />
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin<br />
It's all too much to take in<br />
I can't hold on to anything watching everything spin<br />
With thoughts of failure sinking in<br />
<br />
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin<br />
It's all too much to take in<br />
I can't hold on to anything watching everything spin<br />
With thoughts of failure sinking in
