Icon For Hire ☆ Cynics & Critics

I can’t help but close my eyes tonight
And dream a different ending
That when I wake I won’t be so exhausted
And I will stop with my pretending
That I’m fine, I’m fine if I can fool myself tonight
And my lie will drown out all of yours

You will bleed for what your hands have done
You can’t outrun your ending

And I’ll get well long before you let yourself
I may forgive you, but you never will

I will not bend until I break, how much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me, you’re only a memory
I’ll scream these words ’til they come true, then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I’m going through, this isn’t my identity

And I told you, I told you, you had no right
How damaged you must be
I watch you panic, it’s tragic, you’ll carry this for life
You have my sympathy

I will not bend until I break, how much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me, you’re only a memory
I’ll scream these words as they come true, then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I’m going through, this isn’t my identity

You’re only a memory (I won’t break, I won’t break)
This isn’t my identity (I won’t break, I will not break)
You’re only a memory (I won’t break, I won’t break)
This isn’t my identity (I won’t break, I will not break)
You’re only a memory (I won’t break, I won’t break)
This isn’t my identity (I…will…not…)
You’re only a memory (I won’t break, I won’t break)
This isn’t my identity (I…will…not…)
You’re only a memory (I won’t break, I won’t break)
This isn’t my identity (I won’t break, I will not break) (This isn’t my idendity)

You’re only a memory (You’re only a memory)
This isn’t my identity (This isn’t my identity)
You’re only a memory
I…will…not…break
