By Myself - 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?

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.

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.

How do you think I've lost so much, I'm so afraid and 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.

Don't you (know), I can't tell you how to make it (go).

No matter what it do, how hard I (try), I can't seem to convince myself (why).

I'm stuck on the outside.
