Dashboard Confessional - Belle of the Boulevard lyrics

Down in a local bar out on the Boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you from sinking
It's a long way down, it's a long way

Back like you never broke
You tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg and
Thinks he's getting close
For now you let him
Just this once, just for now
And just like that it's over

Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside
All inside
When you fall apart, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes life is always hard for the
Belle of the Boulevard
In all your silver rings
In all your silken things
That song you softly sing
Is keeping you from breaking
It's a long way down, it's a long way

Back here you never lost
You shake the shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage up
Can you believe it?
Just this once, just for now
And just like that it's over

Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, oh keep it all inside
All inside
When you fall apart, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes life is always hard for the
Belle of the Boulevard

Please hold on, it's all right
Please hold on, it's all right
Please hold on

Down in a local bar out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar is saving you

Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside
All inside
When you fall apart, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Life is always hard, let me dry your eyes
Dry your eyes don't turn turn away
Time to dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, or keep it all inside
All inside
When you fall apart, gonna dry your eyes
Dry your eyes life is always hard for the
Belle of the Boulevard
