The Bridge

You can spread the word and wish the best Can you feel the pain inside the chest No, you don't, oh No, you won't, oh You bill me, brother, for your time I'm broke and bent and I'm next in line No, you won't, oh If I can't afford these broken times Oh, my heart's beating out of my chest Trying to keep me together Oh, I can't quite afford the pain, come the change in the weather Preach to me of pills And teach to me these thrills What's waiting at the bottom of the hill At the bottom of the hill Oh, my teeth rotting out of my head Trying to live for the better Oh, all of your words go unsaid Even the truth smells dead You take it all in stride When you can't afford the pride We're waiting on the turning of the tide On the turning of the tide On the turning of the tide You can't spread the word, you wish the best Can you feel the pain inside the chest No, you don't, oh No, you won't, oh Bill me, brother, for your time I'm broke and bent and I'm next in line No, you won't, oh If I can't afford these broken times We're the bridge waiting to collapse The bleeding heart in the bones intact You're the truth and a misheard fact A crooked smile when my face reacts We're the bridge waiting to collapse This bridge was built to collapse You spread the word, you wish the best Can you feel the pain inside the chest No, you don't, oh No, you won't, oh Bill me, brother, for your time I'm broke and bent and I'm next in line No, you won't, oh If I can't afford these broken times These broken times
