Before it breaks...
Before It Breaks by Brandi Carlile
Around here it’s the hardest time of year.
Waking up, the days are even gone.
Well, the collar on my coat
will help me kill off the cold.
Will the raindrops sting my eyes or keep them closed?
I’m feeling the pain
a little lonely
and my quietest friend
out in the moonlight
and I let you in.
Say it ain’t so,
say I’m happy again.
Say it’s over.
Say I’m dreaming.
Say I’m better than you left me.
Say you’re sorry.
I can take it.
Say you’ll wait.
Say you won’t.
Say you love me.
Say you don’t.
I can make my own mistakes.
Let it bend before it breaks.
I’m alright, don’t know how I seem to be.
I’m not swinging on the stars.
Don’t wanna wear them on my sleeves.
I went looking for a crossroads,
it happens every day.
And whichever way you turn,
I’m gonna turn the other way.
And say it’s over.
Say I’m dreaming.
Say I’m better than you left me.
Say you’re sorry.
I can take it.
Say you’ll wait.
Say you won’t.
Say you love me.
Say you don’t.
I can make my own mistakes.
Learn to let it bend before it breaks.
Say it’s over.
Say I’m dreaming.
Say I’m better than you left me.
Say you’re sorry.
I can take it.
Say you’ll wait.
Say you won’t.
Say you love me.
Say you don’t.
I can make my own mistakes.
Let it bend before it breaks.

i think you got them. so beautiful.
so, i am trying to follow your blog and cannot figure out how to do so. you dont know me, but i can assure you i know these lyrics. i breathe them in often, in fact, since seeing it live with my own eyes in concert. i have a blog as well so feel free to check it out. perhaps we can breathe them in together, and muse about it all the while. take care....

Actual lyrics:
Around here, it's the hardest time of year
Waking up the days are even gone
With the collar of my coat
Lord help me kill off the cold (only line I am not 100% on, sounds more like Killin or kill it)
Will the raindrops sting my eyes?
I keep them closed
But I'm feeling no pain
I'm a little loney and my quietest friend
Have I the moonlight?
Have I let you in?
Say it ain't so
Say I'm happy again
Say it's over
Say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say your sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Learn to let it bend before it breaks
I'm alright, don't I always seem to be
Aren't I swinging on the stars?
Don't I wear 'em on my sleeve?
Went looking for a crossroads
It happens every day
And whichever way you turn
I'm gonna turn the other way
Say it's over
Say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say your sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Learn to let it bend before it breaks
Say it's over
Say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say your sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Learn to let it bend before it breaks
