Next line in the LP song

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 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 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 end things watching everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I’m defenseless
