Lirik Lagu By Myself ~ Linkin Park

[Mike Shinoda:]

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 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 façade but then

I just end up getting hurt again by myself

[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]

(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

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

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)

With thoughts of failure sinking in

[Mike Shinoda:]

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 'til 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

[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]

(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

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

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)

With thoughts of failure sinking in

[Mike Shinoda:]

How do you think I've lost so much?

I'm so afraid that 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?

[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]

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

[2x]

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

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)

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

(to anything watching everything spin)

With thoughts of failure sinking in
