Bent
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I bent like you said was best
Would that change a thing?
If I spent myself \'til nothing\'s left
Would you still leave me here?
You\'re so sorry about it all
Now that it\'s over
Should I thank you for that dear?
You\'re so sorry about it all
And I hope you\'ll always be
Cause I remember you best
Hating all the boys who got to you
And all the things they took
That you\'d kept for yourself
Every car crash, every misstep, every word
You\'re so sorry about it all
Now that it\'s over
Should I thank you for that dear?
You\'re so sorry about it all
And I hope you\'ll always be
Always be
La la la...
Cause I remember you best
Hating all the boys who got to you
And all the things they took from you again
It\'s all wrong, it\'s all wrong, it\'s all wrong
La la la...
You\'re so sorry about it all
Now that it\'s over
Should I thank you for that dear?
You\'re so sorry about it all
And I hope you\'ll always be
Always be
Good night, farewell
Is this everything you wanted?
Is this everything you wanted?
Good night, farewell
Is this everything you wanted?
Is this everything you wanted now?
