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?
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade 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
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
(Playing against you? I can't win!)
With thoughts of failure sinking in...
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride, I lie sleepless
And won't be able to cope with my weakness
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
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
(Playing against you? I can't win!)
With thoughts of failure sinking in...
How do you think that I've lost so much?
Always afraid that I'm now out of touch
How do you expect I don't 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
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

With thoughts of failure sinking in
