Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And if I fall along the way

Pick me up and dust me off

And if I get too tired to make it

Be my breath so I can walk

And if I need some other love, then

Give me more than I can stand

And when my smile gets old and faded

Wait around, I'll smile again

[PreChorus]

Shouldn't be so complicated

Just hold me, and then

Oh, just hold me again

[Chorus]

Can you help me? I'm bent, I'm so scared

That I'll never get put back together

Keep breaking me in

And this is how we end

With you and me bent

[Verse 2]

If I couldn't sleep, could you sleep?

Could you paint me better off?

And could you sympathize with my needs?

I know you think I need alot

[PreChorus]

I started out clean, but I'm jaded

Just phoning it in

Oh, just breaking my skin

[Chorus]

Can you help me? I'm bent, I'm so scared

That I'll never get put back together

Keep breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

[Bridge]

Start bending me, it's never enough

Till I feel all your pieces

Start bending me, keep bending me

Until I'm completely broken in

[PreChorus]

Shouldn't be so complicated

Just touch me, and then

Oh, just touch me again

[Chorus]

Can you help me? I'm bent, I'm so scared

That I'll never get put back together

Keep breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me landing without understanding

Hell, I'd go there again

Can you help me? I'm bent, I'm so scared

That I'll never get put back together

Yeah, you're breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent
