Icon For Hire
Only a Memory
[Verse 1]
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'll 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

[Chorus]
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 till they come true
Then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through
This isn't my identity

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 till they come true
Then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through
This isn't my identity
[Bridge]
And I told you, I told you, you had no right
How damaged you must be
Watch you panic, it's tragic, you'll carry this for life
You have my sympathy

[Chorus]
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 till they come true
Then I will think no more of you
Look back on what I'm going through
This isn't my identity

[Outro]
You're only a memory, this isn't my identity
I will not bend, I will not break
This isn't my identity
