Bend - Melissa Manchester

Here I am talking to the walls again

Cause you won’t let me in.

So I’ll wait.

So damn polite.

Prides a big waste of time.

Don’t you know nobody wins?

If you could bend a little I would try a little

Can’t you see that it’s the heart of love

That heals the pain a little if we believe

Maybe it could be better than it’s ever been

Maybe we could learn to bend.

We’ve been here visited by troubles before

Like strangers who won’t leave.

So hold on, don’t run for that door

Make me love you even more

Baby, won’t you turn to me?

If you could bend a little I would try a little

Can’t you see that it’s the heart of love

That heals the pain a little if we believe

Maybe it’ll be better than a dream again

Maybe we could learn to bend.

We’re all in need of some repair

Like water through storms (?)

We’ll find our way there.

If you could bend a little I would try a little

Can’t you see that it’s the heart of love

It heals the pain a little if we believe

Maybe it’ll be better than a dream again

Maybe we could learn to bend.

If we only learn — to bend.
