If you do not bend, you will eventually break   Unless you make the wind stop blowing your way   We were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws   Only I was willing to stop and listen to yours      You say you do not want me because I want too much   And I almost let you patronize me one last time   But I don't want too much, I just want more than you've got   So the lack is not with either, we are merely a different size      Don't forget regret, it is a waste of an emotion   And acceptance is the key to peace, do not try to defy her   No, I'm not sad we met and slept together in the same bed   I bent, I curved, I lent, I learnt, I'm stronger      You did not do me wrong, in fact you did me right   To let me go, although I felt so broken   For you did not see the heart of me, perhaps you were too lazy   And though I tried I could not gain the heart of you either      So now it's done and I am glad that I will find another man   Though you will always be the first I tasted   And I will harness all this pain and let it bear me far away   I would not let this happening be wasted      If you do not bend you will eventually break   Unless you make the wind stop blowing away   And we were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws   Only I was willing to stop and listen to yours
