So I know she forgives me, just as I forgive her. Thomas Edison's last words were: "It's very beautiful over there." I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.
--John Green, Looking for Alaska


You burned the bridge behind you, dear
You aren't welcome here again
Steer clear of here forevermore
No longer are we friends

You walked yourself straight out the door
and now I've lost the key
It's down and deep inside my heart
Deep inside of me

The smile you throw my way is fake
I know that at least is true
Don't try to win me back again,
I made it clear, we're through

Believe me it's never easy
You tried to keep me here
So I'll reassess the situation
in a hundred years

Don't tell me that I'm gorgeous
I know that that's a lie
Not because I think I'm fat
but because you never try

To keep your face a solid mask
To refrain from calling out;
"But seriously, that shirt you have -
what is that about?"

You burned the bridge behind you dear,
I had to let you go
But the chance will always come
to rebuild the bridge, you know
