lyrics

Saw your face across a great divide
Saw you staring at me and thought it might mean something
So I set out to push past the fear
And bridge the giant gap between us

So I gathered up the sticks and thread
Spent whole days stringing that little bridge together
My mind was fearful at every turn
But I told myself it was all for you

I roused a legion within me
Prepared for the beauty that could be
I called on strength I never thought I had
Said I'd do anything for you
Opened my heart up just for you
Faced fears that threatened to take my life
Just to find that it was all
All for nothing
All
All for nothing
All
All for nothing
All
All for nothing

But just as I neared the end
You cut down my bridge with one sweep of your tongue
My courage had failed me so
In the end, the bridge was no more than a dream

I roused a legion within me
Prepared for the beauty that could be
I called on strength I never thought I had
Said I'd do anything for you
Opened my heart up just for you
Faced fears that threatened to take my life
Just to find that it was all
All for nothing
All
All for nothing
All
All for nothing
All
All for nothing

Well I will not hold it against you
If I was not good enough for you
Take my bridge and just give it to someone else
