Under the Bridge
Tragedy strikes again
A tragedy I thought
To avoid
But when dodging
Bullets
One must remember
To also avoid the knife
And there it is
Oh, my
Protruding from my back
I should have paid more attention
To who I trusted
Should have never trusted you
Well, I knew that you weren't
All that you appeared to be
Still, I liked the mask you wore
So, I just accepted the rest, underneath
So, curse me, if you want
And damn me to hell
But, I got news for you, honey
I'm there already
Sorry, did I actually get you
To feel something?
And to you that is weak
Forgive me
For being human
Something you could never understand
I guess I just fell
For the villan
In the scene
What a clumsey little mistake
On my part
But I understand what happened
I just got in too close
Slipped beneath your skin
And I loved you without reason
Reached up and pulled you out
Of your self-imposed isolation
And you were fine, for a while
Seemed to care for me
Then you just got scared
When in doubt, you run away
So you left, without a word
Dissapeared
And I didn't quite believe it
That you had really left
And its been 88 days
Since I last saw your face
And it's not that I'm
Holding my breath
Hoping you'll come back
Though I was blue
For a while
It's just that
When you left
You carved out
A hole in my heart
And it bleeds from
Time to time
Well, I guess
That's it's nothing
Just blood under the bridge
Don't worry about me
(not that I think you will)
I'll be fine
This bleeding will cease
Eventually
Until then
It's just blood
Over the bridge
Under the bridge
