Pernilla

(album: Icon For Hire - 2008)

I can't help but close my eyes for life
And dream a different ending
When I wake I won't be so exhausted
And I will stop with my pretending
That I'm fine, I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight
And my lie will drown out all of yours

I will not bend until I break
How much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me
You're only a memory
I'll scream these words 'til they come true
Then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through
This isn't my identity

You will bleed for what your hands have done
You can't outrun your ending
And I'll get well long before you let yourself
I may forgive you, but you never will

I will not bend until I break
How much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me
You're only a memory
I'll scream these words 'til they come true
Then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through
This isn't my identity

And I told you, I told you, you had no right
How damaged you must be
Watched you panic, it's tragic, you'll carry this for life
You have my sympathy

I will not bend until I break
How much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me
You're only a memory
I'll scream these words as they come true
Then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through
This isn't my identity

You're only a memory
This isn't my identity
You're only a memory
This isn't my identity

You're only a memory
This isn't my identity
You're only a memory
This isn't my identity

You're only a memory
This isn't my identity
You're only a memory
This isn't my identity
