Coat of Hurt

V6

[Verse 1] I wore that hurt like a coat Heavy on my shoulders Thin as the rain Cold through the seams You saw me fold at the door Hands in my pockets Pretending I'm fine Pretending I'm clean [Pre-Chorus] But it clung to my skin Every time I moved I kept saying "I'll quit" Then I stayed in the blue [Chorus] Wore that hurt like a coat (Like a coat) Kept it buttoned up close (Kept it close) Now I let it fall slow Let it fall slow I don't need it no more I don't need it no more [Verse 2] Burnt orange on the chair Morning in the hallway I picked up the sleeves And I left with the keys All those nights in the dark Tucked under the damage I was living too long In a shape that wasn't me [Pre-Chorus] But it clung to my skin Every time I moved I kept saying "I'll quit" Then I stayed in the blue [Chorus] Wore that hurt like a coat (Like a coat) Kept it buttoned up close (Kept it close) Now I let it fall slow Let it fall slow I don't need it no more I don't need it no more [Bridge] I had the weight, I had the weather I had the tears in the cuff Now I step out into the street With my bare arms up [Final Chorus] Wore that hurt like a coat (Like a coat) Kept it buttoned up close (Kept it close) Now I let it fall slow Let it fall slow I don't need it no more I don't need it no more
