By Myself Lyrics - Linkin Park

1 What do I do to ignore them behind me?

2 Do I follow my instincts blindly?

3 Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?

4 And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

5 Do I sit here and try to stand it

6 Or do I try to catch them red-handed?

7 Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?

8 Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?

9 Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin

10 I make the right moves, but I'm lost within

11 I put on my daily facade, but then

12 I just end up getting hurt again by myself

13 (Myself)

14 I ask why (But in my mind, I find)

15 I can't rely on myself (Myself)

16 I ask why (But in my mind, I find)

17 I can't rely on myself

18 I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

19 It's all too much to take in

20 I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)

21 With thoughts of failure sinking in

22 If I turn my back, I'm defenseless

23 And to go blind leaves you senseless

24 If I hide my pride and let it all go on

25 Then they'll take from me 'til everything is gone

26 And if I let them go, I'll be outdone

27 But if I try to catch them, I'll be outrun

28 If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

29 Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself

30 (Myself)

31 I ask why (But in my mind, I find)

32 I can't rely on myself (Myself)

33 I ask why (But in my mind, I find)

34 I can't rely on myself

35 I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

36 It's all too much to take in

37 I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)

38 With thoughts of failure sinking in

39 How do you think I've lost so much?

40 I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch

41 How do you expect I will know what to do

42 When all I know is what you tell me to?

43 Don't you (Know?)

44 I can't tell you how to make it (Go)

45 No matter what I do, how hard I (Try)

46 I can't seem to convince myself (Why)

47 I'm stuck on the outside

48 Don't you (Know?)

49 I can't tell you how to make it (Go)

50 No matter what I do, how hard I (Try)

51 I can't seem to convince myself (Why)

52 I'm stuck on the outside

53 I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

54 It's all too much to take in

55 I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)

56 With thoughts of failure sinking in

57 I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

58 It's all too much to take in

59 I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)

60 With thoughts of failure sinking...
