Bend Until You Break

Written by Zachary Myers Theriault · 2022

[Verse 1]

Call me when you’re feelin’ lonely
(I will be cool)
You don’t have to say you’re sorry
(Don’t be a fool)
And try to make this complicated
It doesn’t matter how you frame it

[Chorus]

You don’t
Have to
Bend until you break
And you don’t
Need to
Pretend that you’re okay

The world is full of people
We all have a different face
But inside there is something that you simply can’t replace

[Post-Chorus]

And you don’t have to
(Bend until you break)
(Bend until you break)

[Verse 2]

We all hurt
Sometimes
And we all hurt
Some days
But that’s what makes us part
Part of the human race

So saddle up my dear
Let go of control
And all of your fears

It’s quiet now
Do you realize that

[Chorus]

You don’t
Have to
Bend until you break
And you don’t
Need to
Pretend that you’re okay

The world is full of people
We all have a different face
But inside there is something that you simply can’t replace

[Post-Chorus]

And you don’t have to
(Bend until you break)
(Bend until you break)

[Bridge]

And when the nights are longer
And your thoughts are overwhelming
When the future seems too distant
And you’re scared that you won’t make it

Just put your trust into it
Put some trust into it
You can never have enough
Just put your trust into it

When your thoughts are overwhelming
And you’re scared that you won’t make it
Cause the future feels too distant
And the world is full of people

Just put your trust into it
Put some trust into it
You can never have enough
Just put your trust into it

[Chorus]

Cause you don’t
Have to
Bend until you break
And you don’t
Need to
Pretend that you’re okay

The world is full of people
We all have a different face
But inside you is someone that I simply can’t replace

[Post-Chorus]

“And you won’t have to”
(Bend until you break)
(Bend until you break)
