Burning Bridge

Standing on opposite ends of a burning bridge.

We’re watching the smoke rise.

This is what they wanted.

This is the result of their lies.

They told us lies to keep us apart.

They left us both with broken hearts.

They thought that they would win.

But we know that together we will be whole again.

Standing on opposite ends of a burning bridge

We’re watching the smoke rise.

Both knowing that we can’t fly.

We jump to the river hoping we can swim.
