Bridge Burning Down

Well you ain't been nothing but a thorn in my side since you came into my life I thought by now you'd take a hint I don't really want you in my life but still you insist on coming over to my house every dang night... Well I know my mama told me not to burn your bridges and so I guess it's my fault you keep hanging around, I thought maybe someday I'd grow to love you but there's still no love here anywhere to be found so I guess it's time to burn this bridge and burn it to the ground, burn it, burn it down… Well 'cuz you're nothing but a nightmare in my life that just won't go away, every night, every day, I just clench my teeth every time you touch me and oh God Heaven forbid you try having your way with me, how many headaches can one person have til you realize I'm not in love with you and I just wish to hell you'd set me free... Well I know my mama told me not to burn your bridges and so I guess it's my fault you keep hanging around, I thought maybe someday I'd grow to love you but there's still no love here anywhere to be found so I guess it's time to burn this bridge and burn it to the ground, burn it, burn it down… BRIDGE BURNING DOWN, BURNING BURNING DOWN!
