Its not the height

its not the fall

not the creaking of the rope

its not the wind

its not the rain

that robs me of my hope

Its the middle of the bridge

that ruins all my soul

it grinds me up

and spits me out

and leaves me no control

For the middle of the bridge

is that last place you decide

to keep on walking

or go back

and not reach the other side

Always have i stopped there

to ponder what's inside

the heart of bravery and honor

or cowardice despised

Sometimes I've been shoved across

and sometimes i have leaped

sometimes i have sat there long

deprived of peace and sleep

Now I find myself again

in the bridge's middle

this time i am waiting though

for another's fear not little

keeps her standing in between

and though she stands there

with screams of fear

for her.....

I'll wait here in the middle.
