Burning Bridges

As she walked across the bridge that day, I watched her light that match She stood and watched as it burned, so she knew he CAN'T come back. She was over hearing his excuses, and she knew that it was time to let it go Why would she waste her time explaining her worth to someone who didn't deserve to know She had drawn a line that day, and she knew that she had changed she felt the weight lift off her shoulders as she got her peace back in exchange She never needed anyone, she was damaged but never afraid. She chose to see the good in people So this was the price shes paid That heart of gold she wore so proud, Laid under heavy lock and key She was tired of empty promises So this was how it had to be She went to turn around to go, Looked like she had come to terms So I think that's why she stood there so long watching silently as it burned As I watched her walk away that day I swear I saw her smile That had to mean she learned a lesson that made this worth her while.
