Bridging the Chasm
Lyrics by: Paulson
Music by: Paulson, Swingen

Don’t lament the past
Cause today’s a new day
But at times it’s hard to
focus on tomorrow

When yesterday’s pain is too
Stubborn to stay away
It’s a constant source of
Today’s sorrow

When I look at you
I see your hate for me
I don’t know what I ever did
To make you feel that way

I hope that we can finally forgive
And end our misery
If we only made peace
We might have happiness today

My body’s worn
My strength is gone
I look to the skies
With eyes full of scorn

It seems it’s all gone wrong…

I try to find my peace of mind
I’ve searched it seems for way too long
But my troubles seem to tail behind
Will everything always be so wrong?

And still you won’t apologize
It’s just your foolish pride
And still I try to reach out to you
Can’t you see I’ve tried?

My body’s worn
My strength is gone
I look to the skies
With eyes full of scorn

It seems it’s all gone wrong…
So much time gone by
So many tears I’ve cried
I’ve tried to bridge this chasm
I’ve tried and failed

What is the meaning of this?
Is there a message that I’ve missed?
I’ve tried for so long
But it seems it’s all gone wrong

I wash my hands on our friendship’s end
I’ve forgiven and that’s what counts
I know I’ve made my own amends
You’re the one who will go without

I’ll waste no more time on you
I’ll waste no more tears on you
I’ll waste no more sleep on you
I’ll waste no more feelings on you

I’ll never forget what we had
And that it couldn’t be saved is just too bad
But now I know I’m strong enough
To leave my past fights behind
If after all we couldn’t fix it up
I guess you weren’t really trying

But that’s okay
Cause with a new peace of mind
I can walk away…
