Bent Not broken

I'm finding myself all tangled and tied

bending my roots just to keep me alive

gathering the warmth till my tears have run dry

knowing hello is another form of goodbye

cotton candy clouds mask the gray in your eyes

I wish your response would take me by surprise

but there is no escaping your sweet little lies

bleeding into the sunset and disguising your smile

I've heard it said, to be cruel is kind

whoever believes that is more dumb than blind

so don't say you're sorry, it's been said too many times

I'm done with that noise, time to leave you behind

when the sun rises tomorrow, I will be gone like the dew

with no lookin' behind me in my rearview

the sun will be shining, the day is brand new

better than ever, now that I'm done with you
