Attempt To Mend Us

Lyrics

(It was all an attempt to mend us) (Attempt to mend us) (Attempt to mend us) (Attempt to mend us) (It was all an attempt to mend) Bask in the view Mend the connection we broke Healing the wounds Someone’s gotta keep the fire stoked What once was lost Might be found But I might be seeing double In the presence all around us All for one and one for all (Thirty years 'till I found you) I can’t allow these tears to fall (Weary eyes never doubt you) And now the stars shine so bright now (I can’t do this without you) You gotta hold onto what you’ve got now Different motivations fronting But somebody’s gotta be bluffing This family’s a dangling pendulum Why would they attempt to mend us Maybe it all wasn’t for nothing Is it worth this love we’re recovering Despite the tension against us It was all an attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us It was all an attempt to mend I only have one goal So I tolerate how full of himself he is As long as it doesn’t affect me (or her) Glimpses of our youth Guess we’re all a bit delusional these days There’s not a word that I can say You don’t scrutinize (Thirty years 'till I found you) And although I see truth in your eyes (Weary eyes never doubt you) I refuse to let go of my pride (I can’t do this without you) It’s all I got at this point of my life But now somebody needs me (And I still haven’t found you) And it’s such a new feeling (Now I’m starting to doubt you) I only had one goal (I can’t do this without you) But instead I found a kindred soul Different motivations fronting But somebody’s gotta be bluffing This family’s a dangling pendulum Why would they attempt to mend us Maybe it all wasn’t for nothing Is it worth this love we’re recovering Despite the tension against us It was all an attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us It was all an attempt to mend You left me for dead But I never stopped fighting to live Even though I was just a kid I never grew up to find forgiveness For all of the things that you did I know you regret Words that you said So why don’t you get your shit together You’re so caught up cuz this girl’s not your brother But she didn’t ask to exist, so zip it and help her live (Maybe shut the hell up for once!) (Then stop treating me like I’m some ticking time bomb!) (Maybe you should stop acting like one, then!) (But I guess that title doesn’t really mean much anymore, does it?) (Who the hell do you think you are?) (Then do better, wise guy!) (I guess real is what you make of it here!) (Everything you do counts.) It was all an attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us (You’re still a person, despite everything.) It was all an attempt to mend (I can’t do this without you!) Different motivations fronting But somebody’s gotta be bluffing This family’s a dangling pendulum Why would they attempt to mend us Maybe it all wasn’t for nothing Is it worth this love we’re recovering Despite the tension against us It was all an attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us Attempt to mend us It was all an attempt to mend
