Saints And Sailors Lyrics
This is where I say I've had enough
And 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
I'm 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
I'm 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.
But, 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
I'm 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.
And 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.
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.
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
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.
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.
You’re not leaving
Who do I think I am kidding?
When I’m the only one locked in this cell
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.
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.

This song has so much meaning to me. i used to think that i had to be perfect on the outside before i was perfect on the inside...once i started listening to dashboard i loved this song and every time i hear it i take it to heart...it has helped me realize that you dont have to be perfect especially on the outside.
This is quite possibly my favorite Dashboard song. Totally relateable.
ah ha! it's taken me ages to find a lyrics page that has the rest of the lyrics to this song. i was beginning to think i'd imagined it...
but i'm not laughing you're not leaving who do i think i am kidding? when i'm the only one locked in this hell
i like that part of the song best. not sure why, but i do. (:
yeah..same with me..for some reason..
this song has so much to do with my family. my brother (not dad but my 2 year older brother) used to always treat me litterally like shit. i came to school with the worst bruises. and i wrote a poem bout 5 years ago, simmalar t this, that made hime stop... but listening to this gives me the worst memories.. its till a good song tho
What a horrible situation that guy is going though in this song. You can almost get that same feeling just listening to the words. That lonely emptiness feeling. His lyrics are so good, I almost hate them sometimes.
Anyone who has ever been in a bad relationship, this is their anthem. I should know. After being in one where I was lied to, cheated on, etc., this song helped me realized that I wasn't the bad guy, and that I wasn't to blame. Anyone who hears it or even reads the lyrics will learn that they have the strength and will to find something better out there...sniff God Bless that Dashboard Confessionalsniff...
this song is terrific. lovelovelove...
this song is amazing. actaully all dashboard is amazing
i have yet to hear a bad song by dashboard
