The Bridge

The Bridge
I'm so frustrated and I hate it that you cannot be sedated
So unsure of beauty, jaded at the world and how we made it
out alive how we survive but hidden patience now is tried
it's not a lie but you still hide inside the guy who burned alive
leaving trace of blackened grace that sits behind your perfect face
always behind even when grins and laughter fly from former sins like
a turtle in its shell entombed in sheltered living hell that's left behind when
the world and its people have moved on you dwell upon the former me and
how I fell from the life of the sinner I was You know
I'll always love you as the clouds burn with fire my desire
that you see I'm who you want me to be
And if it rains let it pour thunderstorms wash away the sins of past

Chorus:
[let it go let's move on
and cross this bridge we're waiting on
We have been waiting for far too long...
Let’s cross this bridge together.]x2

Let's cross this bridge together
they're coming for me to deceive
the lies that you believe
when will you see that we're meant to be together forever
come take my hand we'll go far away together
just you and me will be forever


Should I unlock the door?
I could unseal the fates to end this curse
The words that bring me back to then
Cold stars that seek revenge

you've written pages in your book
a novel of future pain and loss
so burnt out on self-esteem
you lock it in and I watch you scream

We built this bridge but you still burn it
I put out fires and try rebuilding
but smoke-stained planks adorn the walk
missing steps make it harder and harder to cross

it seems each time the canyon widens
the bridge is stretched and falls apart
you refuse to take a leap of faith
I know that I can catch your fall

[CHORUS]

…You only need give me your all
