Memories & feelings
Happiness & dreams
You grow these flowers in my heart
(pause)
The letters dance before my eyes
The numbers seem to leave my mind
I walk above the ground, I'm feelin' special now
And even if the sun don't shine above
And even if the rain is fallin'
Down upon my soul
I wanna see you and ask for more
Memories & feelings
Happiness & dreams
You grow these flowers in my heart
I know memories & feelings
Everlasting healin'
I just keep them all inside
(pause)
Been waiting for an angel light
Been walkin' thru the darkest night
But then again I was livin' without you boy
And even if the sun don't shine above
And even if the rain is fallin'
Down upon my soul
I wanna see you and ask for more
Memories & feelings
Happiness & dreams
You grow these flowers in my heart
I know memories & feelings
Everlasting healin'
I just keep them all inside
Bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
So bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
Bend and I'll break you
Sleep and I'll wake you tonight
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
She bends, she breaks
She hates you but then she makes a mistake
Confused and a lot to take
And where to fall out and when
Hey, yes
She won't be good to you
And I hate the way I am
So, bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold but she melts like snow
She bends and she breaks
She hates you, but then she makes a mistake
Bend and I'll break you down
She bends and she breaks
She bends and she bows
Bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
So bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
Bend and I'll break you
Sleep and I'll wake you tonight
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
She bends, she breaks
She hates you but then she makes a mistake
Confused and a lot to take
And where to fall out and when
Hey, yes
She won't be good to you
And I hate the way I am
So, bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold but she melts like snow
She bends and she breaks
She hates you, but then she makes a mistake
Bend and I'll break you down
She bends and she breaks
She bends and she bows
