Before It Breaks (Live) Lyrics by Brandi Carlile

0

Around here, it's the hardest time of year
Waking up, the days are even gone
Well, the collar of my coat
Help me, cannot help the cold
Well, the raindrops sting my eyes
I keep them closed
I'm feelin' no pain
Only the 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
That you love me or you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Let it bend before it breaks
I'm all right
Don't I always seem to be?
Aren't I swinging on the stars?
Don't I wear them on my sleeve?
And when you're looking for a crossroads
It happens every day
And whichever way you turn
I've gotta turn the other way
And 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
That you love me or you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Let it bend before it breaks
