Burning the Bridge
why would you bruise me
what possessed you to use me
how did I betray you
When did I mistreat you
How did I betray your trust
What caused you to fade away from me?
I worked so hard to be there
And in the end you don't want me to be
all of a sudden we're not cool anymore
whatever was left of our friendship is falling apart
i'm confused because there's no reason
that I know of to break this heart
Tell me what I did to you
To make you believe
That i'm out to get you
And the only way to stay safe is to leave?
I trusted you, I thought you trusted me
What did I do to make you give up on us
All we worked through to be friends
is so easily run over by this bus
Apparently it just doesn't matter to you
So just walk away
Go ahead and burn this bridge
And once again enemies we'll stay.
