the hurtin's done

Singer: mckinley, arlo

everyone's talking but no one is saying a thing

it was all that i knew how to do to help comfort the pain

with my drunken solutions

at least for a moment they're gone

i'm pretending that everything's fine

knowing damn well it's wrong

still i don't want no one to tell me what's right

i'll make up my own mind

my own mind tonight

ghosts that still haunt me

i'll fight one by one

'till the hurtin' is done

i hide from anxiety

i never stay hidden for long

i learned to self-medicate

then how to wait until the panic is gone

so i hide behind smiles

and whatever else gets me through

i'm not knowing what's waiting for me

or what i ought to do

still i don't want no one to tell me what's right

i'll make up my own mind

my own mind tonight

the ghosts that still haunt me

i'll fight one by one

'till the hurtin' is done

no we don't want no one

to tell us what's right

we'll make up our own minds

our own minds tonight

the ghosts that still haunt us

we'll fight one by one

'till the hurtin' is done

'till the hurtin' is done
