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 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 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
