Bridge to nowhere
Distractions can lead to consequences
Driving in a rainstorm
Distracted by my thoughts
Angry and bewildered
Misused, misunderstood and abused
Tolerated and violated
When I should have been celebrated
Enough is enough
I'm moving on
Probably no one will miss me
Or care that I am gone
The pain and rejection
Is too much to bear
I'm heading to a better life
Leaving the chaos behind
The radio is blasting
I'm singing along with Billy Joel
"I don't care what you say anymore"
"This is my life"
Not paying attention
I missed the turn
And keep driving straight ahead
Tears falling in tune with the music and the rain
Windshield wipers need replacing
They are obscuring my view
I turn up the defroster
Squint my eyes
As I wipe away the tears
Too late, I see the sign
Bridge out!
