What do I do to ignore what's behind me Do I follow my fate to escape blindly Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening Do I let it go 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 none and live life in loneliness Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men I make the right turns 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 (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

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 that I've lost so much I'm always afraid that I'm now out of touch How do you expect that 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
