Dashboard Confessional
Pain Free in Three Chords
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 one's 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 dеad
Start to hurt me again
I don't know how, I don't

But I keep up appearances
Maybе 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 look at my self and I see
Someone's eyes in the mirror and I wanna 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
Baby, 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
