Can`t Be By Myself Lyrics

Can`t Be By Myself lyrics

Slam the door and grab the phone

like a pistol against my head.

ask your machine where are you

damn it never knows.

did i just leave a message or a suicide note?

try to suck the words back down my throat

and i don't know how long i can hold out

hold on, hold on



when i see ya girl i wanna change, 

my clothes, my eyes, my hair, my face,

gotta get away, so i can be myself

myself



now youre staring in the mirror

trying to see what i see.

till you don't even recongnize yourself

darting empty bottles and broken glass

all tangled up in you, you

but everyone's got someone they can't have

i got you



when i see ya girl i wanna change

my clothes, my eyes, my hair, my face

i'll be anything, but i can't be myself, myself



i dont know how long i can hold out

i don't know how long i can hold out



tonight this phone feels like a pistol,

black and cold against my temple

did i leave a message or a suicide note

(i don't know how long i can hold out)

suck the words back down my throat

(i don't know how long i can hold out)

gotta suck the words back down my throat



when i see ya girl i wanna change,

my clothes, my eyes, my hair, my face

and every word that gets away is going off like a cherry bomb



like a shmuck outta luck

full of sand in the clover

im bendin im breakin 

i'm shaking all over

i'll be anything, but i cant be myself, myself, myself



got me slipping and sliding and tossing and turning

and coming and creaming

and crashing and burning

i'll be anything, but i can't be myself, myself

myself
