I think I got numb
For a while
I was tired
I was hurting and I'm not so sure
I was good
To myself

I held on for longer than most

I suppose

But so what?

Who's to say just what measure of time

Is enough

Or too much

I don't know man, I don't



But I keep up appearances

Maybe things don't have to be so hard

I just have to fall apart

How tough could that be?

Just make sure I give it some

Hard throated melodies

Frankly and honestly

Shake it out

And yeah it might break me down

But no ones pain free



I'm starting to hurt

Or to heal

I forget

How to tell 'cause I'm stuck in this rut

Of relief

And of doubt

That's when things get all spun and spin out

Of my hands

And my head

And feelings that I thought were dead

Start to hurt

Me again

I don't know how, I don't



But I keep up appearances

Maybe things don't have to be so hard

I just have to fall apart

How tough could that be?

Just make sure I give it some

Hard throated melody

Frankly and honestly

Shake it out

And yeah it might break me down

But no ones pain free



I look at my self

And I see

Someone's eyes

In the mirror and I want to shout

"That was me

Those were mine"

But something about that's a lie

That I lost

Over time

And I just want to go back but I'm

Not so sure

That is wise

I don't know man, I don't



But I keep up appearances

Maybe things don't have to be so hard

I just have to fall apart

How tough could that be?

Just make sure I give it some

Hard throated melody

Frankly and honestly

Shake it out

And yeah it might break me down

But no one's pain free



I don't know how, I don't



But I keep up appearances

Maybe things don't have to be so hard

I just have to fall apart

How tough could that be?

Just make sure I give it some

Hard throated melody

Frankly and honestly

Shake it out

And yeah it might break me down

But no one's pain free



And yeah it might break me down

But no one's pain free

And yeah it might break me down

But no one's pain free
