Bend and Not Break

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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'm fine

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Won't you hold me now?

I will not bend, I will not break

Won't you hold me now?

For you, I'll rise, for you, I'll fall

[Bridge]

Just hold me close to you

Just hold me close to you

Just hold me close to you (Won't you hold me now?)

Just hold me close to you, to you (Won't you hold me now?)

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Won't you hold me now?

Won't you hold me now, now?

[Outro]

Now, now

Now, now
