Bend And Not Break lyrics

Artist  : Dashboard Confessional 
Song : Bend And Not Break
 



I catalog these steps now 

Decisive and intentioned 

precise and patterned specifically to yours.

I'm talented at breathing 

Especially exhaling 

So that my chest will rise and fall with yours




I'm careful not to wake you 

Fearing conversation 

It's better just to hold you 

And keep you pacified 

I'm talented with reason 

I cover all the angles 

I can fail before I ever try 



Try to understand there's an old mistake that
fools will make 

And I'm the king of them, pushing everything
that's good away 

Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not
break) 

Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not
break) 



I am fairly agile

I can bend and not break 

Or I can break and take it with a smile 

And I am so resilient 

I recover quickly 

I'll convince you soon that I am fine 



Try to understand there's and old mistake that
fools will make 

And I'm the king of them, pushing everything
that's good away 

Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not
break) 

Wont you hold me now 



Just hold me close to you, just hold me close to
you 

Just hold me close to you, just hold me close to
you, to you 



And try to understand there's and old mistake
that fools will make 

And I'm the king of them, pushing everything
that's good away 

So wont you hold me now? 

Wont you hold me now? 

Now, now, now, now, now
