Tim Weirich - Bending Over Backward

She sees the kinds of books he reads
Hopes to accommodate his needs
Thinks maybe many things fulfilled
Sees the future that they'll build

She began to see real world kicking in
To change your mind mid-stride is really not a sin
The time to make a move was likely yesterday
Sure things we hold in life will always fade away

No reason she should doubt him
But its not all about him
She's tired of bending over backward

The nicest girl he ever met
Don't want to fill her with regret
Does he really need that space
He won't tell her to her face

Couldn't believe that she was hanging on his arm
Look fine, speaking mind, never needed charm
So which direction did he make the big misstep
Having no suspicions of the secret that she kept

No reason he should doubt her
But its not all about her
He's tired of bending over backward

No doubt it's all about the giving
Won't recognize the life that they been living
And there lies, the compromise
When she stares into his eyes
And neither of them cries
They finally embrace
Til one of them says,
Good night

They believed it would be easy
Testing flexibility
Yet preserving all their dignity
Or maybe not

Their bond cannot be erased
So strong in the life that they had faced
They'll keep on bending over backward

Bending over backward
