Bend And Not Break
Dashboard Confessional
Letra

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 even try

Try to understand, theres an old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
So won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)

I am feeling agile. I can bend and not break
Or I can break and take it with a smile
I am so resilient. I recover quickly
I'll convince you soon that I am fine

Try to understand, theres an old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
So won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)
Won't you hold me now? (For you I rise for you I fall)

Try to understand, theres an old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
