Linkin Park - By Myself (Demo Version) Lyrics

What do i do to ignore whats behind me?

Do I follow my instincts blindly?

Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams and give into 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 life in lonelyness?

The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men.

I make the right turns but i'm lost within

I but on my daily forsob but then, i just end up getting hurt again by myelf

Chorus

MYSELF

(i ask why)

But in my mind if I

(i can't rely on myself)

MYSELF

(I ask why)

but in my mind if i

(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 anything watching everything spin)

Without the failure sinking in

When i turn my back, i'm defenseless

And to give in to fait 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

Chorus

How do you think, that i've lost so much?

I'm always afraid, that i'm out of touch

How do you expect, that 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

(RIGHT)

But i do know how hard I

(TRY)

but can't seem to convince myself

(WHY)

I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you

(KNOW)

I can't tell you how to make it

(RIGHT)

But i do know how hard I

(TRY)

but 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 the 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 the failure from within
