Lyrics Repeat - Lou Barlow

Repeat

a temper is a fragile thing
a beast when yer alone
with words of steel and disbelief
implied a heart of stone
what made me think you’d open up
i wonder if you’re strong enough
reserved the right to fight or flee
i’ll have my freedom now
no longer this, i can’t resist
my pride decided how
no, i don’t mind if things get rough
i wonder if you’re strong enough
to bend with me
touch the ground
hard beneath and it won’t back down
an open mind
a warming sign things i’ve learned that i learn repeat
learn repeat.
project rejection can’t you see
how i’ve protected you
and i expect your blind respect
for all you put me through
to be aware and not be touched
i wonder if i’m strong enough
mend with me
touch the ground hard beneath and it won’t back down
bend with me make a sound prove to me that you can be found
you did your time
and i did mine
things i learned that i learn repeat
learn repeat
