Let It Bend

reposted but fitting

Brandi Carlile

Around here, it's the hardest time of year 
Waking up, the days are even gone 
The collar of my coat 
Lord help me, cannot help the cold 
The raindrops sting my eyes 
I keep them closed. 

But I'm feelin' no pain 
I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend 
Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in? 
Say it aint so, say I'm happy again 

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming, 
Say I'm better than you left me 
Say you're sorry, I can take it 
Say you'll wait, say you won't 
Say you love me, say you don't 
I can make my own mistakes 
Let it bend before it breaks 

I'm all right. Don't I seem to be? 
Aren't I swinging on the stars? 
Don't I wear them on my sleeve? 
When you're looking for a crossroads, 
It happens every day 
And whichever way you turn, 
I'm gonna turn the other way 

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming, 
Say I'm better than you left me 
Say you're sorry, I can take it 
Say you'll wait, say you won't 
Say you love me, say you don't 
I can make my own mistakes 
Learn to let it bend before it breaks 

Say it's over say I'm dreaming, 
Say I'm better than you left me 
Say you're sorry, I can take it 
Say you'll wait, say you won't 
Say you love me, say you don't 
I can make my own mistakes 
Let it bend before it breaks
