By Myself

Voices in my head I can't ignore
Fueling all my doubts and my remorse
Still I feel lonesome
Trapped inside myself

I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
Worried 'bout the things I can't change
Running from the drama
Still drinking all my problems away

I'm deafened by the silence
And paralyzed with pain
Nobody I confide in
That'll ever know my shame
I don't wanna be like that
Why's it gotta be like that?
I don't know how much I could take

So tie me up
Too late to find me love
'Cause I'm falling to pieces
Consumed by mistakes
Give me a reason to stay

By myself
Just leave me by myself
All the pain I'm feeling
It won't ever fade away
And I don't know how to let go

It took a while for me to let you go
And I know there's a lot I still don't know
Pieces of a dream to me
Giving up came easily to you

I'm afraid
Of being alone, but you'll never know it
Afraid
Of getting too close, of being involved
Afraid
Just leave me alone, I don't even know
What I want, who I really am
You don't understand
You don't understand, man I'm

Doing everything I can for myself, yes
Doing everything I can to be perfect for you
Letting you into my head, is it worth it?
Letting you into my bed, is this worth it for you?

Maybe I don't want to wait around anymore
And maybe I just wanna lay it all on the floor right now
Tell me what you wanna do, 'cause either way you've gotta choose
Leave me alone
