Verse 1:

I pray this is one of my smaller mistakes.

Why must I so often give more than I take?

I bend and I bend, then I snap and I break.

I know in my heart that your worry is fake.

Chorus:

I laugh when I should, though it’s hollow and thin,

A mask of contentment stretched over my skin.

And though I’m not proud of the woman I’ve been,

It seems loving you is the worst kind of sin.

Verse 2:

I live life in silence, but deep down I shout.

You promised me love, yet I still go without.

My heart may be weary, but my arms are stout,

And still, I can’t carry this burden of doubt.

[Repeat chorus.]

Bridge:

Oh, you love to watch me bend,

You love to see me break.

How many times will I make this mistake?

How many times will I break?

Before it’s too late?

[Repeat chorus.]

Outro:

You love to break me down,

You love to break me down,

And baby, I’m still picking up the pieces.
