[Letra] By Myself - Linkin Park

By Myself - Linkin Park



Composição: Linkin Park
What do I do to ignore them behind me?

Do I follow my instincts blindly?

Do I hide my pride behind these bad dreams

And give into 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?

'Cause I can't hold on when 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, 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

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, 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

How do you think?

I've lost so much, I'm so afraid

And I'm out of touch

How do you expect I would 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

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
