Before it Breaks- Brandi Carlile

Around here it’s the hardest time of year
Waking up, the days are even gone
Though the color of my coat
Lord help me killing off the cold
Where the raindrops sting my eyes
I keep them closed
I don’t feel a lot of pain only the lonely
And my quietest friend
Ever the moonlight, have I let you in
Say it ain’t so, say I’m happy again

Say it’s over, say I’m dreamin
Say I’m better than you left me
Say you’re sorry, I can take it
Say you’ll wait, say you won’t
Say you love me, say you don’t
I can make my own mistakes
Let it bend before it breaks

I’m all right, don’t I always seem to be?
Am I swinging on the stars
Don’t I wear them on my sleeves
But when you’re looking for a crossroads
It happens every day, and whichever way you turn
I‘m gonna turn the other way

Say it’s over, say I’m dreamin
Say I’m better than you left me
Say you’re sorry, I can take it
Say you’ll wait, say you won’t
Say you love me, say you don’t
I can make my own mistakes
And learn to let it bend before it breaks

This song is, incredible, and truly hits home lately.

Changes... so many changes, every corner I look, things are changing.

The season is ending, the summer sun is drifting away.

People are changing, always coming in and out of people's lives.

I am changing.

Falling apart seems so easy.

Seeing pictures of him and her,

not hearing his words, it will be ok.

He used to say.

The worst is, I know it will be ok.

Losing someone is the worst, but life goes on.

The world keeps spinning.

my thoughts get so lost lately, feel like my brain is in some sort of captivity.

Bring it back to me.

I've always just wanted to be free.

Mistakes make you stronger, lead you to that path you need to be on.

Stuck at a crossroad, but there are a million different roads,

how is someone supposed to know?

So you choose one that feels right, because at that moment in time it's what you wanted.

But the the lights always go down, the sun sets, and it gets cold.

and even surrounded by people, you feel so alone, so misunderstood.

The sun always rises, and a smile always finds a way to come through,

and it's the good in the world, the good in people, that gives you a different view.
