By Myself Lyrics by Linkin Park Linkin Park
Below, you will find the lyrics for By Myself by Linkin Park.
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
By myself
I ask why, but in my mind
Chorus 1
I find I can't rely on 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
Chorus 1
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To end things watching everything spin
Chorus 1
With thoughts of failure sinking in
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
By myself
I ask why, but in my mind
Chorus 2
I find I can't rely on 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
Chorus 2
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To end things watching everything spin
Chorus 2
With thoughts of failure sinking in
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
Bridge
Don't you
Know
Bridge
I can't tell you how to make it
Go
Bridge
No matter what I do
How hard I
Try
Bridge
I can't seem to convince myself
Why
Bridge
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
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
Without some 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
Without some failure sinking
