I'm dipping deep into a well of thought.
Maybe further than I ought.
But I can feel and I can see,
Pain need not be misery.
Too many lies and too many tries.
Some things won't be born 'til others die.
Though I still want you, I have learned.
There's a reason why bridges burn.

I was wrong in holding on.
What should not have been is nearly gone.
I hope that it's a full life that you live.
But freedom's all I have to give.
Now that it's over I hope I've learned,
There's a reason why bridges burn.

Too much anger and too much fear,
Separated by a river of tears.
And though I love you I have learned,
There's a reason why bridges burn.
