Bend And Not Break Lyrics - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar - Dashboard Confessional

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 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 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 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) 

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 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? 

Won't you hold me now? 

Now, now, now, now, now
