Lou Barlow - Repeat lyrics

A temper is a fragile thing A beast when you're 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 But 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 warning 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 Bend 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've learned that I learn repeat Learn repeat [x4]
