Bend And Not Break - Dashboard Confessional

I catalog these steps now, decisive and intentioned,
precise and patterned spcifically 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. Its 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 is an old mistake that fools will make. 
And I'm the king of them pushing everthing thats good away.
So wont 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.

I am so resilient. I recover quickly. I'll convince you soon that I am fine

Try to understand theres a old mistake that fools will make and..
im the king of them pushing everything thats 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

Try to understand theres an old mistake that fools will make and,
i'm the king of them pushing everything thats good away so.
won't you hold me now? 
Won't you hold me now? ..now?
Now, Now, Now, Now,
