(It was all an attempt to mend us)
(Attempt to mend us)
(Attempt to mend us)
(Attempt to mend us)
(It was all an attempt to mend)

Bask in the view
Mend the connection we broke
Healing the wounds
Someone's gotta keep the fire stoked
What once was lost
Might be found
But I might be seeing double
In the presence all around us

All for one and one for all (Thirty years 'till I found you)
I can't allow these tears to fall (Weary eyes never doubt you)
And now the stars shine so bright now (I can't do this without you)
You gotta hold onto what you've got now

Different motivations fronting
But somebody's gotta be bluffing
This family's a dangling pendulum
Why would they attempt to mend us
Maybe it all wasn't for nothing
Is it worth this love we're recovering
Despite the tension against us
It was all an attempt to mend us

Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
It was all an attempt to mend

I only have one goal
So I tolerate how full of himself he is
As long as it doesn't affect me (or her)
Glimpses of our youth
Guess we're all a bit delusional these days
There's not a word that I can say

You don't scrutinize (Thirty years 'till I found you)
And although I see truth in your eyes (Weary eyes never doubt you)
I refuse to let go of my pride (I can't do this without you)
It's all I got at this point of my life
But now somebody needs me (And I still haven't found you)
And it's such a new feeling (Now I'm starting to doubt you)
I only had one goal (I can't do this without you)
But instead I found a kindred soul

Different motivations fronting
But somebody's gotta be bluffing
This family's a dangling pendulum
Why would they attempt to mend us
Maybe it all wasn't for nothing
Is it worth this love we're recovering
Despite the tension against us
It was all an attempt to mend us

Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
It was all an attempt to mend

You left me for dead
But I never stopped fighting to live
Even though I was just a kid
I never grew up to find forgiveness
For all of the things that you did
I know you regret
Words that you said
So why don't you get your shit together
You're so caught up cuz this girl's not your brother
But she didn't ask to exist, so zip it and help her live

(Maybe shut the hell up for once!)
(Then stop treating me like I'm some ticking time bomb!)
(Maybe you should stop acting like one, then!)
(But I guess that title doesn't really mean much anymore, does it?)
(Who the hell do you think you are?)
(Then do better, wise guy!)
(I guess real is what you make of it here!)
(Everything you do counts.)

It was all an attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
(You're still a person, despite everything.)
It was all an attempt to mend (I can't do this without you!)

Different motivations fronting
But somebody's gotta be bluffing
This family's a dangling pendulum
Why would they attempt to mend us
Maybe it all wasn't for nothing
Is it worth this love we're recovering
Despite the tension against us
It was all an attempt to mend us

Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
Attempt to mend us
It was all an attempt to mend"
