You bend and break
but you watch her
Move around your mistakes

Like a bird free to dance
in your sky
But do you ever see what she hides?

I’m a pretender when it comes to you
I wait for my turn to speak
Just to watch you brighten the room

And I’m waiting for the hour
to drop your tears on my sleeve
So I can watch you tremble
underneath broken dreams
