Lyrics
What gives you faith
who makes you smile
Who holds you close
When you want to hide
That flash of strength
When your stomach hurts
Is a sign of hope
Bravery at work
Pre chorus
So I bend but I don't break
My head runs out of space
Verse
Whatever goes down
That's been or gone
When it's here
Make sure you're strong
Use your strength
Power of your thoughts
It starts to seep
Through all your pores
Pre chorus
So I bend but I don't break
My head runs out of space
You can touch but you can't take
Cos you're the reaper
And I'm just another name
Chorus
Because You Say "I'm not leaving with all these faults"
Because You Say, "I'm not hiding behind these walls"
Pre chorus
So I bend but I don't break
My head runs out of space
You can touch but you can't take
Cos you're the reaper
And I'm just another name
Bridge
All the inconsistent moments and the hiding behind closed doors
And you saying "this time for sure"
For every thing you gave me and all the dreams you fed
me and now you're coming back for more
Chorus
