If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
If I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love then
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again
Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Oh, just hold me again
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
(How we will end)
With you and me
Bent
If I couldn't sleep could you sleep?
Could you paint me better off?
Could you sympathize with my needs?
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Oh, just breaking my skin
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
(How we will end)
With you and me
Bent
Start bending me
It's never enough
Till I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me
Until I'm completely broke in
Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Oh, just touch me again
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
How we will end
With you and me landing
Without understanding
Here I 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
(How we will end)
With you and me
Bent
