You know,
They had a beautiful way
Of turning it all on me
Of burning the house down
And handing me the match
 spreading the ashes
On my fingers
She has made it seem like
She is the victim of all broken friendships
Like she deserves to be worshipped
For getting through it all
Like she wasn't the one
Who set fire to the bridge
Like she wasn't the one
Who turned her back while it crumbled
Everyone just assumed it was I who
Finally burned it down
Because after all
I was the one who "left"
Right?
I may have moved away
But you put the miles between us
 I found out
Everything you said about me
You are one hell of a gossip girl
But still you turn to all our friends
After months of silence between us and say
"I still want to be friends with her,
But I think she is mad at me,"
Like you never spat and hissed my name
Into their ears
Like you deserve
An apology from me
And now I sit here
And can barely speak
Because you stole the words
Right out of my mouth
When you said
"People always break promises,"
Ironic,
You became the person
You promised you'd never be
Im done with your mind games
So don't beg me to come back
When I finally walk away
From the bridge you turned to ashes.
