Lyrics to Bend

if you do not bend you will eventually break

unless you make the wind stop blowing your way

we were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws

only i was willing to stop and listen to yours



you say you do not want me because i want too much

and i almost let you patronise me one last time

but i don't want too much i just want more than you've got

so the lack is not with either, we are merely a different size



don't forget regret it is a waste of an emotion

and acceptance is the key to peace, do not try to defy her

no i'm not sad we met and slept together in the same bed

i bent, i curved, i lent, i learnt, i'm stronger



you did not do me wrong, in fact you did me right

to let me go although i felt so broken

for you did not see the heart of me - perhaps you were too lazy

and though i tried i could not gain the heart of you either



so now its done and i am glad that i will find another man

though you will always be the first i tasted

and i will harness all this pain and let it bear me far away

i would not let this happening be wasted



if you do not bend you will eventually break

unless you make the wind stop blowing away

and we were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws

only i was willing to stop and listen to yours
