Be Myself Lyrics

Be Myself

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 faade but then
I just end up getting hurt
again
By myself (Myself)

Pre chorus:
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)

Pre chorus
Chorus

How do you think I've lost so
much
I'm so afraid, 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

Chorus
(2x)
