Before It Breaks

Around here it's the hardest time of year

Waking up the days are even gone

Will the collar on my coat

Lord help me killing off the cold

Will the raindrops sting my eyes or keep them closed



But I'm feeling no pain

Only the lonely my quietest friend

Have I the moonlight

Have I let you in

Say it ain't 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 alright, don't I always seem to be

Aren't I swinging on the stars

Don't I wear 'em on my sleeves

But when you're looking for a crossroads

It happens everyday

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
