Sunday Song!?
Matchbox 20 "Bent"
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other lovin
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again
Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again
Can't you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Keep breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin
Can't you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Keep breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Start bending me
It's never enough
Till I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me
Until I'm completely broken in
Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again
Can't you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Keep breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Without understanding
Hell I go there again
Can't you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Yeah you're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Bent

I love some of Matchbox 20's stuff. Understand the significance of this one for you.
And on the side, Rob Thomas isn't hard to look at.
I'm sorry I don't know Matchbox 20. The lyrics are intense though. I do like them!
Just a thought: isn't "bent" British slang for "queer", "gay", etc.? If you read the lirics with that in mind then the song takes on an interesting new meaning.
