By Myself-Mabel Mercer

Linkin Park - By 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 facade but then I just end up getting hurt again [01:32.30]By myself (myself) [01:34.23]I ask why, but in my mind I find [01:36.38]I can/'t rely on myself (myself) [01:38.50]I ask why, but in my mind I find [01:40.70]I can/'t rely on myself [03:21.84][02:28.36][01:42.28]I can/'t hold on [03:23.74][02:30.29][01:46.46]To what I want when I/'m stretched so thin [03:25.95][02:32.56][01:50.81]It/'s all too much to take in [03:31.35][03:39.51][02:36.70][01:50.83]I can/'t hold on [03:33.13][03:41.71][02:39.37][01:52.84]To anything watching everything spin [03:35.10][03:44.04][02:41.00][01:54.87]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 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 Thank you god very much
