Linkin Park
By Myself
What do I do to ignore what´s behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I . let it go 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 none and live life in loneliness?
Sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I´m lost within
I put on my daily fade 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
[ 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 give into fate 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 [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can´t rely on 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
How do you think I´ve lost so much?
I´m so afraid that 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
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
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
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 from within
