By Myself (Demo) — текст песни (Linkin Park)

So, what do you think?

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 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 (myself)

Chorus
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
When I’m against you, I can’t win
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I`m defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride I’ll lye sleepless
and won’t be able to cope with my weakness
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 (myself)

Chorus

How do you think I`ve lost so much
always afraid that I’m out of touch
How do you expect I’ll 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 x2

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
When I’m against you, I can’t win
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
When you’re against me, I can’t win
With thought of failure from where?
