I catalogue these steps now
Decisive and intentioned.
Precise and patterned
Specifically to yours.

I'm talented at breathing
Especially exhaling,
So that my chest will
rise and fall with yours.

I'm careful not to wake you
Fearing conversation.
It's better just to hold you
And keep you pacified.

I'm talented with reason
I cover all the angles.
I can fail before I ever try.

Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away so,
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)

I am fairly agile
I can bend and not break
Or I can break and take it with a smile.

And I am so resilient
I recover quickly
I'll convince you soon that I am fine

Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away so,
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)
Won't you hold me now? (For you I rise, for you I fall)

(bridge)

Just hold me close to you. (X4)
(Won't you hold me now?) (X2)

Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away so,
Won't you hold me now...?
Won't you hold me now... now... now...?

Review about Bend And Not Break

Still Listening | Reviewer: Shawn | 7/19/2008

The use of metaphors in his lyrics are truly remarkable and hit dead center with any situation and emotion he explains. its hard not to like this band. I remember a time where everyone loved dashboard, but when the word got around about dashboard being gay and "Emo" popularized by many headstrong guys that were afraid of their masculinity coming into question. I still love these songs :)

dashboard | Reviewer: Esha | 12/4/2007

i love their songs. it's like, there not being depressing for the sake of it like some bands, but it's actually about things people can actually relate to.
"I can bend and not break,
Or I can break and take it with a smile."

gotta love it :]

10/10

Louder Now | Reviewer: Jade | 8/19/2007

This is a nice song, but I would personally like his vocals to be a bit louder, he does have a very good voice and I think he should use it to full potential.

One of my favorite parts is:
"Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away "
Describes a person that I know exactly, it was almost like he knew them too. My favorite lines of the whole song.
