Burning Bridges

MICHIGAN... DO YOU REMEMBER THE SWEATER? I AM WEARING THE PANTS
I WAS SO FILLED WITH MEMORIES I JUST WANTED TO DANCE
YOU TEACH ME ABOUT THINGS... I THINK YOU SEEM TO FORGET
YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ME AND MY LIFE THIS TO YOU I ADMIT
IT WAS OUR TIME TO CHILL AND REBELL
TO DOUBLE DATE - TIMES ONLY WE KNOW... AND WONT TELL
YOU WENT OFF AND TRAVELED THE WORLD
YOU HAVE A MISCHIEVIOUS LIL BOY AND A DRIVEN LIL GIRL
YOU HAVE ALL THIS EXPERIENCE 
YOU HAVE ALL THIS TALENT YOU SEEM TO EXCUSE
YOUR VALUE ...PEOPLE HAVE FOOLISHLY ABUSED
I WOULD TRAVEL BECAUSE THE VIEWS OF LIFE I ENJOY
YOU ARE A LIL STRESSED THIS I UNDERSTAND
DROP ALL THE NOTIONS OF LAW AND OF MAN
TAKE TIME OUT FOR YOU
MAKE IT HAPPEN... THIS YOU CAN DO
**YOU HAVE SEEN ME HELP AND ASSIST AND GET DONE WRONG
BUT DO I GIVE UP... HELL NO
I JUST ADD IT TO THE VERSES OF MY ENDLESS SONG
I WILL HELP YOU BURN BRIDGES 
I WILL HELP YOU BURN THEM ALL TO A CRISP... ASHES TO ASHES
DUST TO DIRT
WHOEVER FOOLISHLY DID YOU WRONG WILL REALIZE TOO LATE 
I HOPE THEY CONFESS BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T THEY WILL HURT
YOU ARE A BLESSING 
AN ANGEL IF YOU WILL 
YOU DIDN'T GET FORCED TO HELP
YOU DID IT OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART... WHAT U FEEL
YOU I AM PROUD OF 
I AM PROUD OF YOU
I ASK YOU LOOK UP TO THE SKY 
WHEN YOU GET FRUSTRATED OR WONDER WHY
I ASK YOU TO PUSH THE GOOD OLE DAYS FORWARD
AND THE BAD MEMORIES TOSS
YOU ARE DESTINED TO BE SO MUCH MORE
YOU AND MY DAUGHTER ARE THREE DAYS APART... 
I KNOW WHAT I MEAN... 
YOU COME FROM THE SIGN THAT SCREAMS BIG HEART
DON'T THINK YOU ARE ALONE
DON'T THINK YOU ARE UNDER THE WORLD AS IT SEEMS TO CRASH DOWN
I AM EAGER TO CLEAR MY PATH 
AND GET OUT OF THIS TOWN
I AM WAITING TO BE BY WATER
MORE THAN I CAN EVEN EXPLAIN
BURNING BRIDGES IS ON MY AGENDA
OUT OF LOVE... AND BECAUSE I AM POETICALLY INSANE
YOU ARE NOT WEAK
SMILE CHICA
YOU ARE ALMOST AT THE PEAK
JOURNEYS ARE LONG ARE A REASON
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER
GIVE IN TO PATIENCE AND FAITH
HOLD ON... JUST A LITTLE LONGER
WHY DO YOU THINK WE KEEP IN TOUCH 
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
WHY? THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES... THE DRAMA... THE FEARS
ONE DAY YOU WILL COME HOME
WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM  (HAHA)
I WILL LOVE YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE A COP
ENFORCING THE LAW
WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU
GIRL... YOU ARE BASHFUL... BUT YOU KNOW HOW TO STAND TALL
PLEASE NO ONE BUT YOU
BURN BRIDGES AND DON'T LOOK BACK
BETTER TIMES ARE WAITING 
IS THE POINT OF THIS RHYME
