The Water Under The Bridge
Ladd Smith

I BROKE THE RULES AND I CAN’T MEND THEM
I WAS A FOOL THINKING I COULD BEND THEM
IT’S PRETTY CLEAR THAT I’M THE ONE TO BLAME
WHEN I SAID YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME
I SHOULD’VE SPOKE MORE TRUTHFULLY
BUT IT’S JUST WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE I BURNED WITH AN OLD FLAME

(chorus)
AND EVERY WRONG I’VE DONE YOU LIE IN THE WATER DOWN BELOW
WHERE I CAN SIT FOR HOURS AND WATCH THE ASHES FLOW
BECAUSE OF HER, MEMORIES AND EMBERS ARE ALL THAT REMAIN
IN THE WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE I BURNED WITH AN OLD FLAME

I STILL RECALL THE SMOKE IN YOUR EYES
HOW I STOKED THE FIRE WITH ALL OF MY LIES
STOOD THERE AND I WATCHED IT BURN WITH SHAME
OH SHE MADE ME BREAK YOUR HEART AGAIN
AND THAT’S HOW OUR LOVE MET ITS END
BUT IT’S JUST WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE I BURNED WITH AN OLD FLAME

(tag)
AND THE PAST JUST KEEPS DRIFTING FARTHER AND FARTHER AWAY…
IN THE WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE I BURNED WITH AN OLD FLAME…
WITH AN OLD FLAME
