lyrics

It was a slow burn
the bridge fire
i didn't fan the flames
or put them out
was standing there
watching you walk away
i wanted to catch after you
but the structural integrity
was harrowing
to afraid to cross
to afraid to back away myself
weigh myself

i sit here
look over the cliff
the fall down so frightening
i need to rebuild this passage
but i cant do it alone
i need to shout, shout over there
and hope for a response
if it doesn't come
what would i do
back to being by myself

has to accept things where they are
and realize it was me, my fault
emphasis on the was,
i am a new person nao
in declaration only,
but its a start
i should try,
if only to record
an attempt
to set things right
