Anderson, John - Bend It Until It Breaks Lyrics






I'm tired of havin' all these troubles, think I've had enough
Excuse me for sayin', but baby I'm callin' your bluff

There's been too many times, too many reasons
Too much cryin' out loud
Too much bein' just another face in your crowd

Oh, and I've heard it before time and time again
You say it's the last time but it never ends
How much more can this poor heart take
You bend it until it breaks

There's been too many cards, too many letters
Strangers sending flowers
Too much worry, and stayin' up lately for hours

It's plain to see you don't care about me
You spread it all around
I'm tired of bein' the joke and the talk of the town

Oh, and I've heard it before time and time again
You say it's the last time but it never ends
How much more can this poor heart take
You bend it until it breaks

Oh, and I've heard it before time and time again
You say it's the last time but it never ends
How much more can this poor heart take
You bend it until it breaks

  1. j.... ....

    One of my favorites from John Anderson. Love the haunting melody and those beautiful fiddles!

  2. E.... B....

    This song is absolutely true

  3. E.... E....

    “How much more can this poor heart take you bend it until it breaks” This song is a pure backbreaker. I love the sadness behind it

  4. R.... L....

    Seminole & bend it, 2 of the best country song's ever! Thanks J.A.

  5. B.... W....

    Ten Years After - "I'd Love To Change The World"

  6. J.... S....

    Sounds like a half recycled version of Seminole Wind :P

  7. M.... U....

    In the words of Aaron Lewis~" that shits country!" One of the greatest country albums of its decade. Cannot argue with a fellow Florida boy.

  8. D.... G....

    A true artist. Country has gone to hell.

  9. J.... E....

    Truly great artist

  10. M.... R....

    I remember John Anderson. I remember this song was back in the Fall of 94. I miss hearing from him. What Happened?

    M.... R....

    I played darts with him at the townline bar in Daytona FL

  11. L.... B....

    Just wondering how much it would cost to get my home done

  12. L.... B....

    The day of people being honest that was the way I was raised

  13. L.... B....

    People are in the process of getting there own gain

  14. L.... B....

    You're asking someone who doesn't know

  15. L.... B....

    Right that's what I see

  16. L.... B....

    All people care about is their gain

  17. L.... B....

    No body believe s in good

  18. L.... B....

    Why care nobody does any more I just listening to music

  19. L.... B....

    The way I see it nobody cares anyway

  20. L.... B....

  21. L.... B....

    Wiminnz too!

  38. J.... W....

    Great song he deserves recognition

  39. S.... P....

    Oh my God... this is so nostalgic. I remember listening to this kind of music when I was young (9) and moved from the city into the suburbs... reminds me of elementary school and late 90's... so laid back. So sad how much country music has fallen.

    S.... P....

    Glad you got to experience real country music. New country music is pop with a wanna be twang. And that's giving it more credit than it deserves.

  40. S.... 1....

    There's been too many times
    Too many reasons
    Too much crying out loud
    I'm tired of being
    Just another face in your crowd
    "
    And I've heard it before time and time again
    You say it's the last time, but it never ends
    How much more can this poor heart take?
    You bend it until it breaks................."
