Bridges

All our memories kept in photographs Where faded sunlight peeks in through leaves on trees Reflected off a bridge where two friends stand Reflected off the bridge where we stood No it wasn't long, but our time together Made up for all the years that we didn't know each other An adventure every day With you by my side When no one else would come, you were there Our stories written and secrets shared A friendship built so strong Why'd you have to tear it down Well, you tore it down But I rode to the bridge in the pouring rain And after all this time, you never came A few weeks gone by, again you say sorry Let's give it another try We were making plans, but you didn't follow through And it broke my heart because I believed in you All the words were gone, left with no explanations Empty and confused, with no communication Maybe there was something holding you back But how would I have known? Well, I should've known But I rode to the bridge in the pouring rain And after all this time, you never came A few weeks gone by, again you say sorry Let's give it another try So I tried to hold the bridge up, but where were you The weight of the world takes the strength of two And I was tired of taking the fall So I let the wood and metal crumble to the ground And accepted the fact that you cut me out I was devastated So I rode to the bridge in the pouring rain And after all this time, you never came A few weeks gone by, again you say sorry Let's give it another try But I'm past that now This bridge is burning down And I'm staying on the other side
