Before It Breaks Songtext
von Brandi Carlile

Around here, it′s the hardest time of year
Waking up, the days are even gone
You're the collar of my coat
Lord help me, killing off the cold
Though 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 them on my sleeves?
But when you′re looking for a crossroad
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

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
