Saints and Sailors

Dashboard Confessional · MTV Unplugged [2002]

This is where I say I've had enough

No one should ever feel the way that I feel now

A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises

And I don't believe that I'm getting any better

Any better



Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring

And I'm thinking awful things

Pretty sure that few would notice

And this apartment is starving for an argument

Anything at all to break the silence



Wandering this house like I've never wanted out

And this is about as social as I get now

And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you

Cause they would never do, I would never do

Never



Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring

And I'm thinking awful things

Pretty sure that few would notice

And this apartment is starving for an argument

Anything at all to break the silence



So don't be a liar

Don't say that everything's working when everything's broken

And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor

And your eyes say the jokes on me



Well, I'm not laughing

You're not leaving

Who do I think I am kidding

When I'm the only one locked in this cell



Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring

And I'm thinking awful things

Pretty sure that few would notice

And this apartment is starving for an argument

Anything at all to break the silence



So don't be a liar

Don't say that everything's working when everything's broken

And you smile like a saint, but you curse like a sailor

And your eyes say the jokes on me
