Lyrics

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 (Myself)

I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself

[Chorus] I can't look around


(Its to much to take in)


I can't hold on


Do what I want


(Because I'm stretched so thin)


I can't slow down


(Watching everything spin)


I can't look back


(Starting over again)

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

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x30] Don't you

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'm stuck on the outside.


I'm stuck on the outside.


I'm stuck on the outside.


I'm stuck on the outside.
