Lyrics & Translation
English
[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)

By Myself (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[Mike Shinoda:]
¿Qué hago para ignorarlos detrás de mí?
¿Sigo mis instintos ciegamente?
¿Escondo mi orgullo de estos malos sueños?
¿Y cedo a pensamientos tristes que enloquecen?
¿Me siento aquí e intento soportarlo,
O intento atraparlos con las manos en la masa?
¿Confío en algunos y me engaña la falsedad,
O no confío en nadie y vivo en soledad?
Porque no puedo aguantar cuando estoy tan agotado
Hago los movimientos correctos pero estoy perdido por dentro
Me pongo mi fachada diaria pero luego
Solo termino lastimándome de nuevo por mí mismo
[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]
(mí mismo)
Pregunto por qué
(pero en mi mente encuentro)
No puedo confiar en mí mismo
(mí mismo)
Pregunto por qué
(pero en mi mente encuentro)
No puedo confiar en mí mismo
[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
No puedo aguantar
(a lo que quiero cuando estoy tan agotado)
Es demasiado para asimilar
No puedo aguantar
(a nada viendo todo girar)
Con pensamientos de fracaso hundiéndose
[Mike Shinoda:]
Si doy la espalda estoy indefenso
Y avanzar a ciegas parece sin sentido
Si escondo mi orgullo y dejo que todo siga
Entonces me quitarán hasta que todo se haya ido
Si los dejo ir seré superado
Pero si intento atraparlos me superarán
Si me matan las preguntas como un cáncer
Entonces seré enterrado en el silencio de la respuesta por mí mismo
[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]
(mí mismo)
Pregunto por qué
(pero en mi mente encuentro)
No puedo confiar en mí mismo
(mí mismo)
Pregunto por qué
(pero en mi mente encuentro)
No puedo confiar en mí mismo
[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
No puedo aguantar
(a lo que quiero cuando estoy tan agotado)
Es demasiado para asimilar
No puedo aguantar
(a nada viendo todo girar)
Con pensamientos de fracaso hundiéndose
[Mike Shinoda:]
¿Cómo crees que he perdido tanto?
Tengo tanto miedo de estar desconectado
¿Cómo esperas que sepa qué hacer
Cuando todo lo que sé es lo que me dices que haga?
[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]
¿No (sabes)
No puedo decirte cómo hacer que (vaya)
No importa lo que haga, lo mucho que (intente)
No logro convencerme (por qué)
Estoy atrapado afuera
[2x]
[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
No puedo aguantar
(a lo que quiero cuando estoy tan agotado)
Es demasiado para asimilar
No puedo aguantar
(a nada viendo todo girar)
Con pensamientos de fracaso hundiéndose
No puedo aguantar
(a lo que quiero cuando estoy tan agotado)
Es demasiado para asimilar
No puedo aguantar
(a nada viendo todo girar)
Con pensamientos de fracaso hundiéndose
