By Myself Lyrics - Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

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 

By myself I ask why, but in my mind I find 

I can't rely on myself 

By 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 

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 I ask why, but in my mind I find 

I can't rely on myself 

By 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 

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 

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 sinking in
