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 I'ma 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 by myself I said I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself I said 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 what I want when I'm stretched so thin The thoughts I feel are 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 I said I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself I said 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 what I want when I'm stretched so thin The thoughts I feel are 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 don't know what to do When all I know is what you tell me to Don't you? I can't tell you how to make it No matter what I do, how hard I I can't seem to convince myself I'm stuck on the outside, don't you? I can't tell you how to make it No matter what I do, how hard I I can't seem to convince myself 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 what I want when I'm stretched so thin The thoughts I feel are 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 what I want when I'm stretched so thin The thoughts I feel are sinking
