lyrics

I woke up and we were fine
The same old things were on my mind
My attention strayed from you
The things we’re going through
Might’ve passed me by

Like a drifter I ignore
The second chances you afford
Now I’m running out of time
To take control of my life
Your foot is out the door

I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
Woman I’ve been known to come around
And fix my mistakes
So see if I can change your mind

Every word is a mistake
I haven’t changed my selfish ways
You believe I’m using you
Just to satisfy this ache
I put myself to shame

I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
Woman I’ve been known to come around
And fix my mistakes
So see if I can change your mind

All these things that I’ve done
Left us nowhere to turn
Can’t run from this
It’s gonna take work
For what it’s worth

I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break 
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
Woman I’ve been known to come around
And fix my mistakes
So see if I can change your mind

Cause we bend, but we don’t break
Cause we bend, but we don’t break
