Hillsborough Bridge

I used to imagine what it would be like
To leap off the Hillsborough Bridge
Into dead water and brittle black ice
And wake up with you in the ditch
We used to make music together
It felt like that drop to the river

What have you done to me
That I took this long to come to
If this is love
Love is not what I got from you

I asked you once what that song was to you
The one that always made me weep
You said a girl you once loved pulled it from you
And I pictured her with pliers pulling teeth
You left me for the woman who bloodied your mouth
Who'd you tell her that song was about

What have you done to me
That I took this long to find proof
That if this is love
Love is not what I got from you

Oh, say what you want
You could have done more to come through
Instead, I'll use chords you taught me
In writing songs to get over you

I want to sink to the bottom of me
Swim in the depths of my youth
Revel in living and kill my envy
Realize and breath in the truth
The truth is, I'm trying too hard
To shake out your fist from my heart

What have you done to me
That feeling this fine is so new
If this is love
Love is not what I got from you
If this is love
Love is not what I got from you

I used to imagine what it would be like
To leap off the Hillsborough Bridge
