Burning Bridges

Sometimes we cross those bridges 
with the matches in our hand.
We light that b**ch on fire , 
though  it wasn't what we'd planned.

When happily ever after
turns into hell on earth,
it's time to take stock of our lives
and remember our self worth . 

You can only try so long 
to make things work out right 
before it's time to cut those ties,
when flight outweighs the fight .

Don't let someone bring you down
to the point of no return.
Just cross the bridge, light the match
and let that sucker burn
