Brandi Carlile - Before It Breaks

Around here, it's the hardest time of year
Waking up, the days are even gone
Feel the collar of my coat
Lord help me, cannot help the cold
Feel 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 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 all right, don't I seem to be?
Aren't I swinging on the stars?
Don't I wear 'em on my sleeve?
But 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

Oh

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
