100 Bridges

I remember.

The night that I decided, it was warm and you were quiet

Your small hands were so inviting

So I took your hand in mine and we just sat like that in silence

With the world laid out before us, as the night stretched out behind us



I remember.

The only thing that mattered in the world right at that moment

was what was might be on your mind

I could tell that it was something good; something I'd want to hear

but for some reason you were holding it inside



I remember.

I asked what you thinking, squeezed your fingers so you'd know it was ok

You said you couldn't say you loved me, because no matter what you said

that I would just go back to her

and those words stuck inside my head



I remember.

In that moment I decided that I wouldn't let myself hurt you anymore

I saw it in your face, your eyes, your heart reached out and said to mine

“If you won't give me everything, then what the fuck are you here for?”



I'm sorry Luv, I know you’re hurt

I know you've had enough

You're pushing me away, but I just can't

I can't just give you up

I don't care if it takes a million days

I'll wait for you, I'll be right here. I won't just walk away.



And so for us I told her

and it felt good to tell the truth

I burned 100 bridges down to build just one from me to you



And at the time I thought that you were sure

And that gave me the strength to go on, in spite of what I'd done

to one so undeserving, one so innocent and pure

I only hope that she finds happiness, and so much more

Than I could ever be; than I could ever hope to know

If there's one thing that I've learned from this; one thing that I know



It’s that that the future is as fickle as wisp of cigarette smoke

blowing in the wind, blowing in from the window



Now you're gone, and I'm still here

Every day feels like a year

Now that you’re gone, I'm such a mess

Every day, I'm so depressed.
