Burn You With The Bridge

You said you'd never do it

That you would never put me through it

But your actions couldn't prove it

and you did it anyway

You smiled slightly saying sorry

I'll make it right babe, please don't worry

It brings you pleasure when you fool me

just before your getaway

How many time have we gone through this

Buy the lie, deceived by your kiss

But not again, cause I'm through with this

so, I finally walked away

Now, everybody knows the story

How you tried to sell that you adored me

But being faithful, you cannot be

and I'm not trying to be played

Good luck trying to fool another

We share these red flags with each other

You really are a motherfu**er

go on now, there is nothing left to say

    Good job and this is one way for you or whoever to say 'Get lost.' or just 'Good bye.'
