sajlovicnatasa "Better bend than ..." in lyrics
Haven't talked in months, I knew it'd be tough
Forward to April, did I give it enough?
What to blame it on now?
I know myself better than you do
My nerves will break like ropes
But I won't give up, I am tired of backing down
Ι better bend than break, no more forgiveness by me
