Mending Bridges
the Cure for the Common Ex-Girlfriend
(music and lyrics by benjamin)
i didnt think that we'd be this far
away for so long i swear
i would have prepared
it better
i guess i failed to realize
that when you said good bye
you meant to be forever
Forever far away from distraction
of our interaction
to compensate for the loss of faith
in us two being friends
But i dont run away from my problems
i pounce right upon them
im like a cat when it comes to that
our bridge i try to mend
so i drive up to play a show in your town
i hope you make it down
in the crowd, will i see you tonight
i guess its hard to let this go,
when both of us should know
youll always be an important person in my life
Forever far away from interaction
distracting
to compensate for the loss of faith
in us two being friends
But i dont run away from my problems
i pounce right upon them
im like a cat when it comes to that
our bridge i try to mend
i thought that you could be
the better half of me,
but really when you leave
you leave me empty
but its ok now
i am rebuilt
i just us both free from guilt
Forever far away from distraction
of our interaction
to compensate for the loss of faith
in us two being friends
But i dont run away from my problems
i pounce right upon them
im like a cat when it comes to that
our bridge i try to mend
