Bent by Matchbox Twenty

I was not much of a fan of this song... but wow... I was really impressed when they performed this on VH1 Story Tellers. Maybe because around that time i was pretty much listening to Nu Metal/Rap stuff that I denied in my head that Matchbox 20 is an impressive band. I can't also deny the visual factor of seeing them on a live setting.

I bought the Mad Season album at a sale for 100 pesos. I was familiar with the band's singles but i never expected the album to be that good. Matchbox Twenty's definitely one of those bands that you should not settle for a greatest hits album as they have a solid discography.




If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces

Start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
